Hello Traveler, are you dreaming to discover the South of France? Look no further! I am Tanya, an experienced guide and art history enthusiast. Let me show you the regions I love most - Riviera and Provence, true sanctuaries for the senses! With over seven years of guiding experience across the enchanting regions of the French South but also of Paris, Normandy and the Loire Valley, I have honed my skills in providing immersive and unforgettable experiences to travelers from all corners of the globe. I am a Licensed guide and a graduate of the Sorbonne University and the Higher School of Fine Arts in Paris, with a Masters degree in Art History and Contemporary Art. Let's say, I "breathe art" and I pursue various artistic hobbies. My expertise in French history and art, garnered from guiding in iconic locations such as Versailles, the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, Normandy with D-Day landing beaches, Loire valley castles and many others, allows me to explain regional history within the larger context of France and art history. This provides a deeper understanding of the cultural tapestry that makes the French Riviera and Provence so unique. I hold a deep appreciation for French heritage and craftsmanship, actively fostering connections with local artisans and promoting sustainable practices rooted in historical traditions. Whether navigating picturesque routes with awe-inspiring viewpoints or unveiling hidden gems off the well-trodden trails, I am committed to ensuring your journey is not only informative but also visually breathtaking. As an avid art history enthusiast, I like bringing an extra layer of depth to your tours, weaving into the millennial history of France the life stories of such iconic artists as Monet, Cezanne, Renoir Picasso, Matisse and Chagall, who found inspiration in the captivating beauty of the Riviera and Provence. Considering communication to be the essence of successful journeys, I bring a wealth of cultural curiosity and multilingual fluency, cultivated through a life of global exploration. Bridging cultural gaps is not just a task but a wonderful experience, as I aim to infuse your adventure with positivity and an amiable persona. Every tour with me is a personalized, carefully curated and meticulously organized journey. Together, we will craft a tailor-made holiday that breathes life into your unique interests and passions, whether it's history, art, architecture, gastronomy, crafts, shopping, nature or simply unwinding on pristine beaches. I love the South of France so much because it is a perfect combination of stunning nature, authentic Provençal character and rich history with magnificent sights, delicious foods, glamorous feel and laid-back atmosphere, where we practice "the art of living" with passion and pride. Let's unlock the secrets of this mesmerizing region and create cherished memories together!

Let’s slip behind the clichés of champagne sprays and superyachts and meet the real Saint-Tropez, the one the locals love. We’ll wander through the Provençal village, watch fishermen and sailors, observe locals playing pétanque and choosing produce at the market. Let’s admire the pastel façades and the light of the bay that once enchanted Signac and Matisse. Did you know the name Saint-Tropez comes from Torpes, a Roman officer who, legend says, washed ashore here with a rooster and a dog? As we stroll through the old town, I’ll share stories of Roman heritage, medieval glory, the rise of the port, the Liberation during WWII, and the Belle Époque, when artists, writers, and later Brigitte Bardot turned this fishing village into a legend. We end at the Citadelle, with its Louis XIII fortress and stunning bay views—or you may choose the Musée de l’Annonciade for an art visit. We can extend the day to Port Grimaud, Ramatuelle, Gassin, or enjoy a local Côtes de Provence wine tasting.
I will pick you up at the Tourist Office at the harbor or your hotel. 1. Harbor of Saint-Tropez 2. Old Town & La Ponche 3. Ramparts and WWII history 4.

It is a walking tour but I can arrange a private vehicle SUV, Minivan for a group up to 8 people or a bus for larger groups, should you decide to extend the tour to a full day and visit the surroundings of Saint-Tropez.
