• Alain Lesomptier (Avignon) - Discovering Provence in its most intimate and secret area by taking remote and not well known routes aboard a comfortable and air-conditionned minibus.
I would be very happy to show you and to take you to nice places and areas I just love.
I do pick up from your hotel or your lodging in Avignon, Aix en Provence, Arles... or from your cruise ship in the port of Marseille, and obviously I will drop you off at the end of the tour at the same place.
• Catherine D`Antuono (Aix en Provence) - Curious by nature, Catherine will be able to show not only the basic spots, those "you must see", but also the unknown places that will help visitors to understand the authentic Provence. Her address book is full of good restaurants, scenic roads, fine wine cellars and of very special addresses that are so typical of Provence (lavender, olive oil, pottery). She will take care of everything.
• Kafari David (Paris) - My name is David I live in Paris. I was frustrated because I was not able to give my attention to 80 people so I decided to create my own tour-guide company, France Travel Tour to give a better service to tourists.
It includes private guided tour with a french guide, but also a hotel reservation service. During my tours I collect information from tourists to improve my service, and I often keep contact with them.
• Private Louvre (Paris) - There are so many artworks in the Louvre that to see them all for 30 seconds will still take 12 days! So why join the crowd and get lost in its 9 miles of corridors? What about a private tour? I'm fully bilingual, am relaxed, and while studying I tried and succeeded at making complicated things simple, so I believe that even in a few hours you will discover great things about Art.
Arnaud Caron (Toulouse) - I'm Arnaud, from Toulouse in the South of France. I would be very happy to make you discover the nice atmosphere of our province, and take you to Lourdes, Carcassonne, Sarlat in Perigord, Rocamadour, Albi, Toulouse.
Champagne Tour (Reims) - Enjoy a glass of bubbly as you spend a day in the famous region of Champagne on a day trip from Paris. With its magnificent vineyards, impressive heritage and world class champagnes, the region makes a great excursion from the French capital.
Private tour to Isle sur la Sorgue / Luberon - full day - on Sundays only (Luberon) - We start with the visit of the famous Provencal market and/or antic market in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue alovely little town built on water and canals. You'll find there all the things that make Provence famous : herbs, cheese, olive oil, soap, fabrics… It is an excellent place for shopping.
Loire Castles Tour (Chaumont) - Take a day tour from Paris to visit the three most famous chateaux of the Loire Valley: Beautiful Chenonceau Castle, the wonderful Chateau de Chaumont and, perhaps most magnificent of them all, the Chateau de Chambord. You'll witness the glamour and grandeur of French royalty and aristocracy, and gain insights into "castle life" in these Renaissance riverside castles .
Private Tour to Avignon and Wine Tour in Southern Rhone Valley - full day (Avignon) - Visit the sophisticated city of Avignon: the Rocher des Doms (views of the Rhône), the famous bridge, the famous ramparts and, of course, the awesome Palace of the Popes built in the 14th century when the Popes settled in Avignon. The huge banquet rooms, the frescoes, the coloured floor tiles will give you an idea of the Pope’s life at that time.

Celtic and Latin with Teutonic, Slavic, North African, Indochinese, Basque minorities>> HISTORY OF France: Although ultimately a victor in World Wars I and II, France suffered extensive losses in its empire, wealth, manpower, and rank as a dominant nation-state. Nevertheless, France today is one of the most modern countries in the world and is a leader among European nations. Since 1958, it has constructed a presidential democracy resistant to the instabilities experienced in earlier parliamentary democracies. In recent years, its reconciliation and cooperation with Germany have proved central to the economic integration of Europe, including the introduction of a common exchange currency, the euro, in January 1999. At present, France is at the forefront of European states seeking to exploit the momentum of monetary union to advance the creation of a more unified and capable European defense and security apparatus. ECONOMY OVERVIEW OF France: France is in the midst of transition, from a well-to-do modern economy that has featured extensive government ownership and intervention to one that relies more on market mechanisms. The Socialist-led government partially or fully privatized many large companies, banks, and insurers, but the government retains controlling stakes in several leading firms, including Air France, France Telecom, Renault, and Thales, and is dominant in some sectors, particularly power, public transport, and defense industries. The telecommunications sector is gradually being opened to competition. France's leaders remain committed to a capitalism in which they maintain social equity by means of laws, tax policies, and social spending that reduce income disparity and the impact of free markets on public health and welfare. The current government has lowered income taxes and introduced measures to boost employment. The government is focusing on the problems of the high cost of labor and labor market inflexibility resulting from the 35-hour workweek and restrictions on lay-offs. The government is also pushing for pension reforms and simplification of administrative procedures. The tax burden remains one of the highest in Europe (43.8% of GDP in 2003). The current economic slowdown and inflexible budget items have pushed the 2003 deficit to 4% of GDP, above the EU's 3% debt limit. Business investment remains listless because of low rates of capital utilization, sluggish demand, high debt, and the steep cost of capital.
I am an official, English speaking guide in Paris and I am fully registered to the French ministry of Transport; therefore I can organize private and customized excursions by car, in Paris and throughout the country since my qualification allows me to do so.
