Four Seasons
The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
Carlton Cannes
Le NegrescoI work with the concierge desks of Four Seasons, Carlton Cannes, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt and Le Negresco: their guests are referred to me for private tours of the French Riviera, and their standards are the ones I hold myself to.
A yacht, a vintage car, a horse in the hills, a gallerist's back room, a private garden, a villa: with partners I trust, a day with me can open onto what is usually closed. Prices on request, subject to my partners' availability.
A day at sea with a captain I trust: Cap-Ferrat, Monaco, the Lérins islands or the Estérel, with or without me on board.

Discover this experience →The Riviera is a garden first: Cap-Ferrat, Menton, the hills. Some gates open only on request, and I know whom to ask.
Discover this experience →For guests who would rather have a house than a hotel: I introduce you to owners and agencies I trust, and I compose your days around the villa.

The French Riviera has always been more than a destination to me, it is home. I grew up in Paris, but ten years ago this coast became my life, and between the ochre façades of Nice and the timeless hilltop villages, I have built a deep, personal connection with every mile of it.
With a license from Paris-Sorbonne and a master's degree from Nice, followed by years of further study in art history and heritage, I became a state-licensed tourist guide. It is a qualification built on accuracy, depth and genuine local expertise, not a simple credential.
"The Riviera deserves to be experienced slowly, thoughtfully, and with full presence."
Whether you're planning a private tour of Nice, a private guide for a day in Monaco, or a fully custom itinerary across the French Riviera, every experience starts with a simple conversation.
Pacôme, your private guide, French Riviera
Rushing between cities diminishes the experience. I favor depth over quantity, lingering in medieval villages, finding hidden viewpoints, and leaving room for a local rosé at sunset.
Every itinerary is paced to be felt, not rushed. We pause where the light changes on the stone, and take the time a place deserves.
Our tour with Pacôme was absolutely phenomenal. His knowledge of Nice went far beyond what any guidebook could offer, and he shaped the day around what we actually cared about.
What an incredible experience. Pacôme didn't just show us the sights, he brought the history and the people of this coast to life in a way we'll remember for years.
Pacôme nous a fait vivre la Côte d'Azur autrement : loin des sentiers battus, avec des anecdotes passionnantes et une vraie complicité. Une expérience à refaire sans hésiter !

Luxury on the Riviera is not gold leaf. It is time, attention and access, and every one of my experiences is built on them.
Only you and the people you choose. No strangers, no fixed script, no waiting for the last of the group.
The French professional guide card is earned through university studies in art history and heritage, not self-declared. It is a guarantee of accuracy, depth and professionalism in everything I tell you.
An all-electric vehicle for up to 3 guests on every half-day, full-day and multi-day experience. A shorter visit of a single city is booked at the half-day rate, pickup included. For larger parties, my partner drives a premium chauffeured vehicle while I guide.
Your hotel, your villa, the Villefranche tender pier or the Nice cruise terminal: the day starts at your door and ends there.
We shape the day together before you arrive, then adjust it on the spot to the light, the crowds and your curiosity.
You write to me, not to a call center. WhatsApp, email or phone, before, during and after your stay.
Tables worth booking, the hour a village is quiet, what is open on your date, the viewpoint most visitors miss.
Depth over quantity. We linger where the light changes on the stone and leave room for a glass of rosé at sunset.
One price for your party, never per person, with the vehicle, the pickup and my time included. Entrance fees are listed separately.
The concierges of the Riviera's finest hotels send me their guests. Read what travelers say on Google and GetYourGuide.
Public figures, executives and families who value their privacy are in good hands: nothing about your visit is shared or published, your itinerary stays between us, and pickup can happen wherever suits you, away from any lobby.
I guide in English, French and Spanish, and I am used to the expectations of guests referred by the Riviera's palace hotels: punctuality, discretion, and the small things anticipated before you ask.
