Hi, Fouad speaking, My friends know that the best place to look for me is at the bottom of the sea or the top of a mountain: I have a lifelong passion for nature and outdoor sports that brought me to the French Riviera after 12 years in Paris. I gave up my desk job there, working as a consultant for Unesco's legal affairs department, to share my sense of adventure and love of this spectacular region with visitors from around the world. I have been working as a professional tour guide since 2006 and created my own company in 2014. Familiar with all the secret trails and little-known spots in the area, I am happy to lead you off the tourist path and arrange outdoor activities for sports and adventure enthusiasts or families with children, as well as gastronomic and wine excursions. Of course, we can also visit the well-known highlights of the region, like St-Paul de Vence, Eze, St-Jean Cap Ferrat, Monaco, Menton and St-Tropez. As we emerge from the global pandemic, travelers are seeking to connect with nature and get to know places more deeply, going beyond the urban centers and crowded tourist sites. This validates the approach I have always favored, so please join me on an adventure that I will create just for you! To keep the experience personal, all my tours and private and customized. You can expect maximum comfort in my Mercedes seven-seat van. If you are a curious traveller, if you love nature, art and local gastronomy, open to the unexpected. . . we will have a lot of fun together! - Professional license for public transportation EVTC006140032 - Professional driver card - Professional car insurance - Driving licenses: Cars, bus, coastal boat, motorbike - Freediving and snorkeling licenses - Master business international law. I am not be able to guide you inside of the museums.

Overview of your Nice tour

The Verdon is rightly considered as the most beautiful canyon in Europe. Thanks to its exceptional beauty, it is now officially listed as one of the « Great Sites of France ». The canyon was carved by the turquoise Verdon river over 2 million years, and reaches a depth of more than 2000 feet (700 meters). The drive will take us along the most spectacular stretch of the Canyon, during which you will experience this unforgettable and majestic landscape. With a bit of luck you will see eagles and vultures circling around the area. Because I am rather demanding towards myself, I propose you the most fabulous itinerary, among the 4 existing roads, of having done it on foot, by bike and by car

Your Nice tour itinerary

We drive along the mythical Alps road by the Loup canyon, Vence pass, or Grasse to enjoy sceneries. our first short stop will be in the spectacular Greolière villages to enjoy the view. One hour later we will get the charming village of Castellane. Here you will be surprised by the rock overhanging the city like a divinity protecting the town. This is also the right place to purchase some local specialities for our picnic in the verdon river. Then we will drive to Moustier which is famous for its faïence and has also been named one of the most Beautiful Villages of France. You will spend some free times trolling along the tiny village. the athletes can walk up to the Notre-Dame de Beauvoir chapel, dating back to the 9th century. During the lavender season (mid-June to mid-August), another 15-minute drive will take us to the spectacular lavender fields. Also Bring your bathing suits, because you might get a chance to jump into the water, or to have kayaking session or electric boat to go into the canyon
