About
Once Upon a Time
After spending several years exploring the French Riviera as both a driver and a tour-guide and accompanying visitors from all over the world, I decided in 2026 to start my own independent tour company and dedicate myself fully to what I love most: guided walking tours.
This new adventure was born from a simple belief: Nice and its surroundings possess a unique cultural heritage, where every street, building, and landscape tells a story. By taking the time to look around and uncover the traces left by centuries of history, one can discover a fascinating and often unexpected side of the French Riviera.
It is this deep connexion to the region and its heritage that inspired me to offer a more immersive and personal way of exploring the area.
Beyond sharing historical knowledge, I want my tours to create moments of exchange, curiosity, and genuine connection.
Each experience can be tailored to your wishes and interests, whether you would like to explore museums, enjoy local tastings, discover hidden gems, or simply take a leisurely stroll while listening to the stories behind the places you visit.
My tours are designed for everyone: solo travelers, couples, families, groups of friends, associations, school groups, and companies looking for a unique cultural experience. Every tour is adapted to the participants’ expectations, pace, and interests, ensuring an engaging and enjoyable experience for all.
Because every group is unique, I also create fully customized itineraries (on foot, by minivan, or by coach) based on your interests, available time, and the type of experience you wish to enjoy.
Together, we can create a memorable journey through the history, culture, and hidden treasures of the French Riviera.
Hi there!
I am Mathilde, a Certified Tour Guide and Lecturer on the French Riviera for more than ten years.
I’m passionate about history and architecture, art, museums, books and travel. Even after all these years on the Côte d’Azur, I am still amazed by its bright cities, hilltop villages, colorful markets, and breathtaking panoramas. This region, nestled between the sea and the mountains, is an endless source of history, culture, and emotion that I love sharing.
Most of all, I like meeting people from all around the world and learning from their culture too.
Through my tours, I want to offer you more than a simple visit; a true immersion into the French Riviera. If you want a walking tour or a guided tour with a car and a driver, I am here for you !
My goal? That you leave with stars in your eyes, beautiful memories… and the desire to come back!
Because every story begins with “once upon a time”… let me tell you the rest.
