I’m an American expat who moved to France in 1996. In 2013 I created a US based specialty tour operator company specializing in VIP itineraries for private parties and group tours. Today, thanks to the growing interest in Provence as a perfect vacation destination.
The last few years have been a rich experience helping travelers put together their ideal Provence experience. From designing self-guided travel itineraries, to selling small group travel and offering day tours or just a luxury transfer, it’s all there to bring a memorable and stress-free vacation.
On my website Your Private Provence, you can find example itineraries for a few days or an
entire week. This is also where you can learn about my small group travel packages (up to 7
participants). Travel agencies, yoga companies, and life coaches have used my expertise of the region to help them provide package tours and also be their local guide and chauffeur during the tour.
In-between these longer tours, I do day tours and transfer services (see my chauffeur website at Your Private Chauffeur Provence). If travelers are independent and like to explore on their own, I still suggest hiring a local guide/driver for at least one day during their stay as a way to get orientated geographically and understand the region both historically and culturally. It’s also a nice treat to not have to worry about driving directions or where to park the car!
My philosophy on travel is that there is not only an opportunity to understand the world better but also a chance to reconnect to you. By seeing a different « world », plunging into historical anecdotes and pondering the people who left their mark on the land and culture, one begins to feel an inspiration to live more fully, again. I call it inspiration to be who we are – travel to discover the world…and you.
And the less you have to think about turning left or turning right and where you are going to enjoy lunch, the more time you have to relax and enjoy the benefits of travel.
A bientôt !
