Who we are
We’re Veronica and Nicolas, a husband-and-wife team of passionate, licensed tour guides based in Avignon, in the heart of Provence, since 2015.
Veronica designs and leads private tours, tailor-made for couples, families, and small groups who wish to explore at their own pace. Her tours highlight the region’s rich heritage — from wine and lavender routes to medieval villages and Roman monuments. With her background in languages and her talent for storytelling, she makes every journey both personal and engaging.
Nicolas coordinates and guides our small-group shared tours, perfect for travelers who enjoy meeting others while discovering the best of Provence in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Before founding ProVans, he gained extensive experience as a host and guide on small cruise boats along the Rhône River, where he learned the importance of attention to detail and creating memorable experiences for intimate groups.
Why choosing ProVans
Choosing a small, independent company like ProVans ensures a personalized experience, greater flexibility, and the opportunity to support local guides and businesses. With our many years of experience, we are dedicated to creating memorable journeys that leave our guests with wonderful memories — something our reviews often highlight.
We focus on creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, adapting each tour to the interests and wishes of our travelers.
Like everyone, we love discovering places that feel peaceful and authentic, away from the crowds. But some landmarks — like the Pont du Gard or Sénanque Abbey — are simply unmissable, at least once in a lifetime. That’s why we design our tours to combine iconic highlights with hidden gems you won’t find in guidebooks. During the lavender season, we know the secret fields and quiet spots where you can truly immerse yourself in the beauty and fragrance of Provence — capturing memories that last a lifetime.
For us, guiding is more than a job — it’s a way to share the beauty, culture, and flavors of Provence with visitors from around the world. Whether you join a private wine tour, a lavender day trip, or a cultural journey through the Luberon or the Alpilles, we’ll make sure you experience Provence like a local — with warmth, passion, and a touch of sunshine.
Wonderful tour of Provence
We had a wonderful tour of Provence with Provans! Everything was professional, thoughtful and well done. Veronica took us to some amazing places, answered all of our questions and seemed prepared for everything. It's nice to have someone take you to the best places, and deal with all of the detailed things, like parking, maps, tickets, etc. It was simply great !
