Route: Alpes Maritimes

“I am 53 years old. I am married, my wife is native from the island of Madagascar and we have a young girl called Stéphanie. We live in France but travel at least once a year to Madagascar where I sometimes escort groups of tourists or walkers. But we love Europe and … France as well!!!

“I have been living in the Alpes-Maritimes since 1981. I have first worked as a licensed tour guide, and I now work as well as a licensed mountain leader since 1999. I like the combination and complementarity of these two jobs, but my preference is for guiding hiking tours and walkers in the nature, where I love to share with my clients my passion for environment as well as the incredible biodiversity of my region.

“I created this route in 2003 for On Foot Holidays and I do appreciate the precious collaboration with Simon and his team. I am looking forward to welcoming you here. I will make sure you do not miss any element of our fantastic destination, between the mountains of the French Alps to the shores of the Mediterranean.”
