Provence and the Côte d’Azur are among the most beautiful regions in France, stretching across Alpes-Maritimes, Var, Vaucluse, Bouches-du-Rhône & the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. From Nice, Cannes, Antibes, and Saint-Tropez to Aix-en-Provence, Marseille & the lavender fields of Valensole, the region is packed with incredible places. But many travelers only see the highlights.

My guide helps you discover local secrets alongside the must-see spots: hilltop villages, coastal walks, hidden beaches, markets, scenic viewpoints + unforgettable hikes in places like Gorges du Verdon, Esterel Massif, Mercantour National Park, Calanques.

I live in Pays de Fayence, 30 mins from the Mediterranean, perfectly placed to explore the French Riviera & Provence in every direction. Every weekend, I’m discovering new places or revisiting favorites. I’ve also sailed this coast on my boat, so I know many of the ports & seaside towns from the water.
