The day, stop by stop
Art & Heritage
Begin in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, one of the most iconic medieval villages of the French Riviera. Walk along its historic ramparts and charming stone streets, discover art galleries and local boutiques, and follow in the footsteps of the many artists and writers who were inspired by the village.
Authenticity & Artistic Heritage
Continue to Vence, a historic town surrounded by the landscapes of the French Riviera. Explore its old town, ancient gates, narrow streets, and lively squares. Vence is also closely connected to the work of artists such as Henri Matisse, whose artistic legacy remains an important part of the town's identity.
Glamour & Mediterranean Lifestyle
Conclude your journey in Cannes, where the atmosphere changes completely. Stroll along the famous Croisette, admire the luxury hotels and designer boutiques, discover the Old Port and Le Suquet, and enjoy the elegant Mediterranean atmosphere that has made Cannes famous around the world.

Best season
All year round. Each season shows the region differently - we adapt the route to the light and the weather.
Fitness level
Easy to moderate, adapted to you. Village streets are cobbled and sloping; tell us if that is a problem.
Families
Welcome. Child seats provided free of charge on request.
If it rains
The day shifts indoors - workshops, museums, tastings and a longer lunch - without losing its character.
Good to know
We pick you up at your hotel, villa or the cruise terminal. Departure is usually between 8:30 and 9:30 - earlier to beat the crowds, later if you are on holiday and it is holiday time.
We book the table, you choose the register: a gastronomic restaurant, a Provençal bistro, or a farm table. Lunch is not included in the tour price so that you keep the choice. Dietary requirements are never a problem - tell us in advance.
English or French by default. Spanish, Arabic and Berber are also possible - Fouad speaks all five.
Often the best plan. The second day is quoted at a reduced rate.
The day shifts without losing its character. We only cancel for genuinely unsafe mountain or sea conditions, and then we reschedule or refund.
You receive a written proposal with a firm price for your group. No deposit is required to hold a date more than a week out. Payment on the day, by card or in cash.
Reviews
Fouad noticed the cruise crowds that day and took our small group off the beaten path - hillside towns, new places, and a delicious lunch overlooking the hills.Brian Keeley, USA
Fouad took us to beautiful out-of-the-way vineyards, and lunch afterwards in Saint-Tropez. He went above and beyond, helping us ship wine back home.Marcus Loy
Great personality, knew all the shortcuts, and really just a cool guy. One of my favorite guides!Thomas Beck, USA
