About Tour Guide Jean-françois S.
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.
Important
I work all year long 7 days a week

French Riviera: Off the beaten path to mountains villages
A superb and unusual trip in the nature through a beautiful canyon to little Middle Ages villages very few tourists know. This is my fresh air tour away ofrom the tourist crowd, perfect for a family with children. Extraordinary views over Southern Alps, lunch by a lake (1500 m/4500 ft), unique church from the 10th century. Another unknown side of the hidden Riviera which doesn't only offer seaside places.

“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.

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.
