What To Expect
Fragonard is one of the 3 largest perfumers in Grasse, the world's perfume capital. This particular art is now over 170 years old in Grasse! A guide will explain the secrets of the perfume during a private visit only for your group. At the end of this visit you will be amazed at the complexity of creating a perfume.
Forteresse Medievale De Gourdon
Gourdon is an adorable medieval village perched on the heights of Grasse at 800m altitude. After a beautiful road that climbs almost permanently through the hills, we arrive at the entrance of the village which remains pedestrian for your greater tranquility. We will wander in its alleys in the shimmering colors of the storefronts of the craft stores. From the village square you will have a breathtaking view of the entire coast between Nice and Estérel. You will discover products of all kinds (perfumes, soap, fabrics, crystal, ...) made by many artisans of the village.

5.00We gave our parents a Traction ride with Philip, and it was a really exceptional moment. The car is splendid, perfectly maintained, and immediately plunges us back into another era. Philippe is passionate, very welcoming and attentive, who knows how to share the story of his car and convey his good humor. Our parents loved the experience, both for the comfort and elegance of the Traction and for the kindness and availability of Philippe. An original, authentic gift that leaves beautiful memories! We highly recommend.
So fun, everyone loves...

5.00This tour was one of my favorite stops in Europe. Philippe is an amazing tour guide. So friendly and knowledgeable about the area. His vintage car is so much fun to ride in, very spacious and comfortable. He took us up to Gourdon, a tiny midevil village on the mountain tops where we shopped and had lunch. Tavern provencal has the most beautiful patio over looking the french riviera. This tour is a must!

Private car tour of the French Riviera

5.00After having to wait 4 years due to COVID, we were finally taking our honeymoon to the French Riviera. As part of it, my wife surprised me with hiring Philippe for a half-day tour around the Riviera in his Traction Avant. Philippe was not only accommodating and very kind when we were initially planning our tour, but worked with us when some of our other plans changed and forced us to reconfigure a bit just days before we were scheduled. On the day of, Philippe picked us up and his personality that came across during our messaging continued as he gave us the tour, some background on the car (a wonderful story that I won’t spoil, but recommend you ask about!), and some history of the area. There really was something special about all of it; the views, the car, the story, the looks from others who were interested in the car! During the course of our trip, the prior few days caught up with us, and we got a bit too physically exhausted to go to some of our planned spots that involved a bit of extra walking around. Not a problem for Philippe! He was again extremely accommodating and turned it into a strictly driving tour around some of the more scenic routes for the rest of our tour. I can’t overstate how much we enjoyed our time with Philippe, and very much recommend that you take the opportunity to do the same.
