Ladies and Gentlemen, Ernest Hemingway once wrote «There are only two places in the world where it is possible to be happy: at home and in Paris». Well as much as I hate to disagree with a nobel prize, I must say that the French Riviera will make you feel at home, without the Parisian rain ! My name is Michel and I will be happy to guide during your stay on the French Riviera and maybe outside as well. I'm Certified Tour Guide and Lecturer (I can guide in historic sites and museums) with 25 years of experience in Provence and on the French Riviera. After studing history and political science at the Sorbonne in Paris, I completed my guiding license in Nice. I spent years walking every path, visiting every lost chapel, touching every stone, tasting everything, it's my pathology. I live in a region where tourism is ofen standardized, with very few genuine tours, reason why I'm happy to be able to offer you a list of tours with several unique experiences, including for first time visitors. Contact me with your wishes, your place of care and check my programs to see if you find some inspiration, I will be happy to customize a tour for you. Please note I don't do tours of Monaco and Eze, places overwhelm with mass tourism. If you're interested in going there I would suggest you to contact my colleagues who all provide excellent services there. If you have any question please contact me, I'll be happy to provide all the information and the suggestions you need. A bientôt en France! Michel National Licensed Tour Guide and Lecturer (Nice Sophia Antipolis university Nice) VTC licence and TPRP licenses : Public transportation Being Certified Tour Guide I have no restriction of any sort, I can guide you inside historic sites-monuments as well as in museums.

Overview of your Nice tour

Away from the crowded tourist sites, the Riviera offers some unique wonders, on the edge of the sumptuous Mercantour National Park. I will take you on the Italian border, in the Roya valley, a jewel preserved off the beaten track, to discover some villages Discover villages that have nothing in common with what you have seen or will see. But also of a preserved nature and simply extraordinary monuments. Do you like mountains, the unexpected, art, history and places with a strong personality? Then this tour is for you!

Your Nice tour itinerary

You will discover SAORGE, considered one of the 10 most beautiful villages in France. Provencal Tibet is a wonder out of time. Then LA BRIGUE, my favorite. This village located on the border that breathes Italy more than France, is world famous for NOTRE-DAME-DES-FONTAINES, also known as the Sistine Chapel of the Alps. This 15th century sanctuary is a jewel of art and spirtuality, it is entirely decorated like a comic book. A rare moment. Finish with TENDE, known for one of the most beautiful collegiate churches in the Alps, the small town is a cinema setting, a unique place.
