Being a native from Villefranche-sur-Mer, located between Nice and Monaco and facing the world-famous Cap Ferrat, I grew up in the heart of the French Riviera. I loved going to see the festivities of the Nice Carnaval in February like the Menton lemon festival, the Monaco palace with its guards and its Cousteau Oceanic museum, the luxury cars of Monte-Carlo were something special for me because my father was a professional sports car mechanic who participated in the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix for more than 10 years. We were also lucky in May to enjoy the Cannes Film Festival and meet film actors and actresses or French televisions celebrities walking on the Boulevard de La Croisette. Every time I mention my first job outside of Nice, outside of France, I always have the same answer full of surprises " how did you end up in Idaho...?" Well, back in Feb. 2002, during the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, I had the great opportunity to work for two years at the famous Sun Valley Ski Resort as a restaurant and banquet manager. I enjoyed every opportunity to visit most of the West Side and have fond memories of it because it was so different from my hometown French Riviera and also another exclusive, "rich and famous" place to experience. Back in Nice, back in school to be certified as a licensed lecturer-guide, i now take every opportunity to show my clients my area as a local and make sure they feel at home, throughout their stay. For 18 years I am specialized in providing private tours on the French Riviera & in Provence, which means that all my tours can be tailor-made at your convenience, from the great classic for first-time visitors to unique experiences, including adapted for children, my programs can also be customized as multi-day tours so that you to enjoy, discover and understand South of France today and yesterday, its history, its heritage and monuments, its gastronomy and its art of living. Looking forward to meeting you soon…

I am a licensed guide and I have been a guide for several years now. I am passionate about creating unique and memorable experiences that are normally available only to locals or insiders. My specialty is helping clients understand how people live here, how they think, how they eat, and what a French Riviera lifestyle actually feels like and of course its history in very easy and pleasant form. I adapt my tours depending on each client. Going hand in hand with an Official Guide guarantees to your guests a quality visit.

Having more than 15 years of experience as an environmental consultant in different structures in France and abroad, I am now reorienting myself toward an activity that has always fascinated me. Eco-tourism and contact with people from different parts of the world are an environment in which I like to evolve. I take the opportunity to enrich this activity with my professional knowledge and my skills in environmental project management and local culture. We are a team of professional guides, with a lot of experience behind us, each specialising in different areas. We cover different disciplines such as: geology, biology, photography, marine biology. Furthermore, we are of different nationalities, which makes us even more valuable and versatile.

“Excellent tour with Jean Fran?ois ”
He organised a tour purely in easy French for our English pupils visiting nice. We all had a great time, learned a lot and discovered Nice's little gems. We highly recommend Jean-François for your tours.

“Professional, articulate, and knowledgeable: Absolutely worth having Anna B. as our personal guide. ”
We have never been to France and had no idea what to expect. Hiring a guide was a no brainer and we wanted the luxury transportation of a Mercedes Van that was spacious for all three of us. From the moment we met them at our hotel we were impressed. They arrived early to greet us and provided expert led guidance every step of the way as we explored Nice, Monaco, Monte Carlo, and Eaze. The cabin temperature was as we wanted with back controls to manage the temperature so that we had ice cold comfort when we traveled and returned from our city tours. Having Anna personally educate us as we drive and toured was amazing. She has her husband drive so that we could have her undivided attention from the moment we boarded the Mercedes. Her husband Ben is a very safe driver and we never felt concerned about our safety. Ben was incredibly focused at all times with his eyes on the road navigating the traffic. What is incredible was the detail explanation including large scale pictures that Anna kept referencing and sharing during every scenic tour stop. With the architecture being so old it was incredibly insightful to see old photos and comparing these to the actual buildings as we stood there. She even has a laser pointer that she uses to point out even the smaller of details which made us feel so educated. During our tour we saw other “group tours” where the guides did not seem to have the same level of professionalism. This made us feel incredibly satisfied that we paid top dollar for Anna who quite honestly conducted herself as professional as a museum curator. If you are considering a guide you I will promise that Anna is without a doubt the best guide we have ever had the pleasure of using. Every single detail and experience was perfect. We never felt rushed or hurried. Thank you Anna and Ben for taking such great care of our small party of three. You EXCEEDED OJR EXPECTATIONS. 100% SATISFIED.
