About Claire

Hello,
I offer chauffeured private tours of Provence.
I’m inviting you on a genuine experience of Provence through the rhythm of the seasons.
I can help you get an insider’s view of this land bustling with life and rooted in ancestral traditions.
My path has led me to explore different territories, be they geographical, human, professional or cultural.
Originally from France, I have lived in the USA, Mexico and Senegal.


After college, I held various jobs in communication, event planning, adult education, counseling and human resources, development aid, coordinating tourism, and accompanying tourists abroad.
My work has always revolved around meeting, contacting, relating, and building connections with people & communities.
My travels and encounters have given me an open mind, a respect for cultural diversity, and the desire to share with others the rich experiences life has to offer.
Through immersion, I was able to learn English and Spanish, enabling me to create deeper connections with people & cultures.

For over twelve years now, I have called Provence my home. It’s a land embroided with knowledge and passion of which my Grandmother would sing me stories as a child.
That’s where I live now, ready to help you discover the many facets of this sunny country – a country full of savors and smells, grand landscapes, ancient stones & people who’ll tell you fabulous stories of popes and counts, of peasants and artists, of local crafts and gentle lifestyles.
I can’t wait to share my amazing Provence with you.

Claire
