I saw so many places I never could have discovered on my own.

I had a full-day private tour with Sandra, and it was a wonderful experience. She tailored the itinerary to match exactly what I was looking for. Her car was very comfortable, and we spoke both French and English. She picked me up from my hotel in Nice and brought me back afterward. We spent the day exploring the South of France, including Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Èze, Monaco, and Monte Carlo. We visited museums, perfume factories, and enjoyed a delicious traditional lunch.

A Hidden Gem Nestled in the Hills

For our parents’ 60th wedding anniversary, my sister and I treated them to a day in the hinterland. Sandra showed us Sospel as we had never seen it before! For lunch, she took us to a hidden spot nestled in the hills, offering a breathtaking view! She set up a comfortable picnic area and served us the best products from her trusted local producers — an absolute delight 😋

Sandra’s smile and natural warmth put everyone at ease!

I just took a tour of the Port de la Darse in Villefranche-sur-Mer, guided by Sandra Ottaviani. Of course, Sandra shares the history of her town and its rich maritime heritage with great enthusiasm. But what truly stood out was her professionalism and her ability to captivate her audience. Her smile and natural warmth put everyone at ease. In short, a wonderful discovery — and I can’t wait to do it again. Thank you, Sandra!

The Journey Back

Already Coming to an End…
Did time fly by for you too? For us as well! After these suspended moments we've shared, we almost don’t want to say à bientôt… au-revoir... alors, on se dit à bientôt !
I love my region for its cliffs plunging into the blue of the Mediterranean, for its lush hinterland full of stories, and for its endlessly rich cultural heritage. It’s this Côte d’Azur that I’m delighted to share with you — the one you rarely see on postcards. And that’s a good thing, because it remains a well-preserved treasure, waiting to be discovered by those who truly seek it.
