About Us

Welcome to Heart Of Provence, where history, culture, and hidden gems come alive. My name is Vincent, and I’m here to offer you an unforgettable journey through Avignon and its surroundings, sharing the beauty, stories, and soul of this incredible region.

A Local’s Passion for Avignon

Born and raised in Avignon, I grew up in the shadow of the Palais des Papes, playing in its medieval streets and soaking in its rich history. From an early age, I was captivated by the city's grand past, the whispers of its ancient walls, and the cultural legacy left by artists and visionaries like Jean Vilar and Joseph Vernet.

But every great love story has its adventures. I spent a decade guiding tours in Barcelona and three years exploring India, learning the craft of storytelling and deepening my passion for cultural heritage. My experiences abroad shaped my approach to guiding—not just showing places, but bringing them to life.

Why I Guide: Sharing History & Authentic Connections

Being a guide is more than a profession—it’s a calling. My love for history drives me to share the incredible stories of Avignon, from the papal courts to the secrets hidden in its narrow alleys. But what truly makes this journey special is the connection with travelers—bringing the past into the present and creating an experience that stays with you long after your visit.
