  Thanks to our guide Fabrice for leading us on a hike through such a beautiful mountain. His professional explanations and guidance helped us better understand this national park and its various wildlife and plants. It was a truly wonderful experience and absolutely worth joining Fabrice on this nature journey.

Fabrice is a passionate guide, caring and attentive to detail, hiking with him is like going to wonderful spot with your bestie! It was a blast, thanks a lot Fab!

  Fab is a great, experienced, professional, and friendly guide. The hike was breathtaking and we even experienced a lot of wildlife despite not expecting to! This has been the best joke I've been on and Fab helped us get there as he knows all the great spots. This was one of the most memorable experience of our time in Europe. Fab is also very friendly. He is a very experienced outdoorsman and makes great conversation.

  Our family did a recent 3 day hike with Fabrice. He was a superb guide in every way. Extremely knowledgable about the flora, fauna, geology and history of the area, and shared his knowledge enthusiastically. Friendly and helpful at every step of the way, making the arrangements at the refuges, transporting our group at beginning and end of the trip. An overall fantastic experience!

  After setting up the booking, I was able to get in touch with Fabrice through WhatsApp. He was very responsive and considerate and after carefully considering our abilities and our gear, he picked out a fantastic hike near the Col de l'Authion, above the Torini pass. We were picked up from the Nice Riquier train station by Fabrice and were expertly driven up into the mountains. Along the way, Fabrice told us about local history and ecosystems and pointed out many points of interest. Once we got to the trail head, Fabrice took very good care of us - he brought hiking poles and water and offered suggestions for clothing as we headed out. During the hike, he regaled us with more history and cultural information and pointed out alpine flowers and wildlife. When the hike got more difficult, he made sure we took our time, used the proper breathing techniques, and paced ourselves. As a result, the hike was very enjoyable for all four of us, regardless of our varying levels of fitness. His knowledge of the area allowed us to have stunning views of several chamois, as well as some Griffon Vultures and a female Black Grouse. All the while, Fabrice kept an eye on the weather which ensured we returned to the car without incident, tired but thrilled with a wonderful hike. Merci, Fabrice! If you ever journey to the French Riviera and are looking for a guide to take you out into the Alps, Fabrice should be at the top of the list.

  Our group of 5 family members hiked Mercantour Park with Fabrice for 3 days, staying in refuges along the way. It was a truly special trip for us. Beautiful vistas and scenery, challenging trails that Fabrice helped us navigate with no problem, fascinating ancient petroglyphs, and wonderful company. Fabrice spent a good deal of time communicating with me before our trip to make sure he organized a hike that met our every desire - just the right amount of challenging hiking and interesting sights. He is super knowledgeable about so many subjects - the history of the region, the flora and fauna, the little detours to more interesting paths and scenery, etc. I highly recommend exploring this corner of the Alps with Fabrice!

  We booked this trip for mid-May. I touched base with Fabrice 2 days prior and he informed me that a late season snow storm had hit Mercantour and that it was not possible to hike to the lake. He gave me an option of canceling or doing a different hike. We chose to do another hike. Since some rain was forecast for Naples area Fabrice wanted to study the weather patterns for the next day to find the best hike for us. In the mean time he asked about the level of exertion we wanted (6 point scale) and our technical skill (3 point scale). The evening before he'd narrowed to two options (based upon the weather and our answers) and then based upon the final weather forecast the morning of the hike he selected a hike from the village of Peille to a mountain peak, cime de Baudon. Fabrice picked us up in Nice and drove us to the hike. Bottom line: it was a fabulous hike that led to stunning views. During the day we learned that Fabrice is a native of Nice and has been a professional hiking guide for 20 years. He hikes an average of 150 days per year. He has 25+ different hikes that he can take people on in the area. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. At the end of the hike Fabrice took us into the village and gave us a tour of the ancient architecture. This was one of our best hiking experiences ever, Thank you Fabrice!

  If you are looking for a guided hike while you are in the French Riviera, look no further! Just book this trip. Fabrice is the best possible guide, ever. He truly made our trip in France exceptionally better. He is so hospitable, considerate, friendly and kind, incredibly knowledgeable and you will have an amazing time. We learned way more than we expected. The hike was beautiful, we saw fall colors and the mountain views were better than we expected. Fabrice made sure to ask ahead of time about our hiking ability and what to expect. He made minor adjustments to the hike to match our ability and made sure it was the perfect fit for us. His communication was great and he made everything so easy. And he even had some great restaurant recommendations for us when we got back into town! It was so nice to get into the mountains and have a change of scenery during our trip. We are honestly so glad that we had this experience and if we were to return, we would absolutely do another hike with Fabrice! Can’t recommend this enough.
