About Tour Guide Jean-François

Bonjour,

My name is Jean-François (Jeff). I was born and grew up in Provence, I live in Vence (the city of Matisse) near Nice. I'm a real local native. After being a teacher for many years (French, English, History), I started doing sightseeing and package tours in 2005. I'm also a photographer, all the pictures on this site are mine.

I'd love to share with you my passion for this magical region, especially take you to secret places off the beaten path away from the tourist crowd and visit hidden gems. And I've got a very comfortable a/c 9 seater van.

I want to meet your needs and expectations at every step in a warm, friendly and fun atmosphere.

I'm also an EVENT PLANNER (birthday, anniversary, wedding, honey moon, bachelor party, corporate events...).

I offer tours ALL YEAR LONG :

- French Riviera (Nice, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Eze, St Paul de Vence, Grasse, Antibes...)

- Provence (Aix en Provence, Arles, Saint Rémy, Roussillon, Lavender fields, Gordes...)

- Wine tasting tours in Provence

- Day tours for cruise passengers from the ports of Monaco, Villefranche sur Mer, Nice, Antibes, Cannes, St Tropez, Toulon.

- Package holiday tours 2-7 days

If you're looking for a different way to explore the South France, off the beaten track, more typical and traditional spots, places you can't find by yourself... then you'll find it with me.

I work all year long 7 days a week
