Specialist with the "FRENCH RIVIERA" I am a French Government licensed guide and I have an art history degree from the Louvre school in Paris. I was an art history teacher in Nice University for many years and I 'm still teaching for the "institut international de Cannes". I also used to work for the US embassy in Paris where I guided a lot of VIP visitors around France. The dimension of the French Riviera ¨figure today among the privileged destinations of the tourists of the whole world thanks to the irreproachable quality of reception which it holds for its million visitors. As a tourism professional in this region, I've committed myself to guaranteeing a high level of service, at the right price, to ensure tourists continue to come to the beautiful French Riviera, and continue to expect the highest levels of service from their guides. also; very important . . all my tours are not fixed. we can make some changes if you wish.

Jacque was great. He had tremendous knowledge of Nice, and took the time to address the area and the nuances that are not likely found in the guidebooks! Enjoyed the tour immensely, and highly recommend him!

Jacques is the dream guide. From Roman to contemporary, Jacques fascinates with history, art, anecdote, and more. We saw so much and at every stop--Jacques connected to the resident docent, baker, cleric, ho--st, or artist present. Jacques was extremely generous with his time, his dazzling mind, his fabulous personality, and a glamorous style and verve which made him a complete pleasure to follow through this stunning city. I hope to book Jacques every day when I return to Nice. It is not possible to say enough about what a bon companion and fascinating person this wonderfully creative man was to us in our time in Nice.

His extensive life experiences and background provided an outstanding and educational experience that we hope to repeat in the future. Highly recommended!

Jacques was super fantastic! Knowledgeable, amusing, full of stories about the locals, very amiable and easy to communicate with to set up the booking and to confirm beforehand.

Jacques is a man of many stories! My wife and I traveled to the French Riveria on our anniversary and spent our first day in Nice being shown around by Jacques. He was incredibly generous with his time and clearly possessed a prolific understanding of the region and its history. He took us to the truly local shops for a local Niçoise experience and took us to sights not available on traditional tours.
