The Opening of the Ball

Picnic Gourdon
Picnic in Gourdon

A new season is starting

The trees are budding, the birds are singing and the tourists are arriving. After 3 difficult years, it looks like 2023 will be a very busy year on the French Riviera. My agenda is filling up quickly. While most of my guests ask for a tour to the highlights of the Riviera, I also receive more and more requests for my Tours to the nearby Italian Riviera. Dolceacqua is definitely one of the most unique experiences. Not only for its medieval architecture and the picturesque bridge over the Nervia river, but also for the visit at my favorite Restaurant there. Dolceacqua is a pleasure for the eyes and the palate. I am always happy to take my guests there.

Another one of my personal favorites will be the village of Gourdon again. We call it also the balcony of Provence because it overlooks the entire coastline from Nice to St Tropez. Just outside Gourdon is a beautiful meadow with a gorgeous view where I love to organise picnics. I always have a table, chairs, a tablecloth and silver in my van and before arriving in Gourdon, we will stop at a local outdoor market to buy our picnic ingredients. Having lunch in the nature, far away from the busy Riviera has become for many of my guests the highlight of their tour with me. I hope to return there often this year…. maybe with YOU!

Liberation, my favorite market

Nice is mostly known for its famous flower and food market on Cours Saleya in the old town. It is mentioned in all the guide books and you will have no difficulty in finding it, just follow the flow. If you look for a more authentic market though, where the locals go and buy their …

Queen Victoria discovering the French Riviera

It was in the spring of 1882 that Queen Victoria visited the French Riviera for the first time. She had previously visited Paris with her husband Prince Albert. However, his death prompted her to enter a long period of mourning and it was many years before she revisited France. Queen Victoria had never travelled outside …

La Route des Mimosa

Every year between December and March the French Riviera is lightened up by millions of little suns, the mimosa blossoms. Imported in the end of the 19th century by Thomas Cook from Australia, mimosa trees have since then spread out all over the French Riviera. It is between Mandelieu La Napoule and Tanneron that you can …
