WHO ARE WE?

Michel & Robert Michel LEGRAND - 46

Post graduate in History and Communication – Sorbonne university

National Licensed Tour Guide & Lecturer – Nice Sophia Antipolis university

“While digging his private individual one meets the universal” wrote Maurice Chapelan. A quote which has given rhythm to my daily life for over 15 years of guiding. I’ve always strived to show my region in a way which speaks to my clients, leaving them with memories that resonates for a lifetime. We live in a world-renowned area, where most of the marvels still remain unknown. A region where unfortunately the tourism is standardized. At 1388 we decided to change that, not only by showing something different, but also by doing it uniquely. With us your clients will be able to discover the amazing sites of the Riviera, the upper country, a history and a culture which are not stereotypical, with the ability to live a true and authentic experience. A passionate runner I also organize the only running tours of Southeastern France, a great and original way to visit Nice. A bientôt!

I believe the key of success in this business is to behave naturally as a generous, honest and rigorous professional. My aim every time I am on my way to greet you is « making your day », literally. Well, it sounds like an easy and simple goal but it is not; it means understanding your wishes and expectations, those you expressed clearly but also surprising you, giving rise to emotion that will last much longer than your day with me. You, traveler, are very important to me, because I understand you expect a lot from a tour guide and the service he provides I would like to take you out with me like a group of friends would enjoy a glass of good wine: it is all about sharing, celebrating life, new experiences and emotions, laughs and pleasure.

Cheers!

Robert

A unique journey through the roaring twenties, literature and arts

"You are a lost generation" said Gertrude Stein to Ernst Hemingway. Thus, the term was born. During the roaring twenties a whole generation of American writers left the US for Europe, and for more than a decade a lot of them considered the French Riviera their second home. That’s where they met the great names of modern art such as Picasso, Leger or Matisse, as well as some of their most renowned fellow countrymen, generating a unique artistic dynamic. While the first summer season was established in 1925, they gave the Riviera the face we know today. We’ll give you the opportunity to discover the seaside from Fréjus to Antibes, passing by the Gold Corniche, Cannes and Golfe-Juan, on the path of F. Scott Fitzgerald, E. Hemingway, J. Dos Passos, J.

panoramic vistas purely breathtaking, but also along the way you will discover the traditions of the Alps in villages like Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage, Saint-Etienne-de-Tinée, Le Pra and Bousieyas.

Italian escapade

The Ligurian flavors of the Ponant Riviera

Of course there is no place like France! But… Despite our proverbial chauvinism we must recognize that beneath the border lies a land of beauty, culture, art and gastronomy which is hard to match. The Ponant Riviera used to be seen as the continuation of the French Riviera, and Sanremo or Bordighera used to attract kings and queens from all over Europe. Both will be a perfect introduction to the specialty of this part of Italy: the production of flowers. Here every inch is covered with green houses. But no doubt that the best remains hidden behind the soft hills, just a few minutes away from the seaside. We invite you to journey through the villages of Dolceacqua which fascinated Monet who came to paint the little bridge; and Apricale, a postcard of Italy. And for lunch… che meraviglia!

A hidden valley

Be surprised, be amazed, swim in rivers and walk hidden villages

In the Alpes-Maritimes, the valleys runs north to south, receiving the influence of the sea…. except one. The Estéron valley which runs east to west, from Gilette to Saint-Auban. For centuries, it has been the borderline between Savoy and France, withstanding numerous conflicts, but at the same time developing a unique identity we help you discover for yourself. Ask anyone living on the seaside, where they would hide for a get-a-way weekend. If they want to see villages untouched for hundreds of years? The answer is the same: the Estéron valley. Gilette, the “cats village”, is represented in the battle wing of the Versailles castle since a great victory took place here in the 18th century; Gars is probably the only village still a secret to this day and the rare inhabitants want to keep it that way. It is a little heaven; Cigale is listed as one of the most beautiful village of the region a “must see”; Pierrefeu is so timeless its museum is called “out of time”. In the Departmental Park of the Estéron you will swim in a river renowned for its purity, and at a point we will take you to a “clue”. “A clue” is the product of the combined efforts of the river and the mountain joining to create a natural slide. The Estéron host some of the finest ones. The most adventurous ones will include a canyoning session. Experiences: Swim the Estéron, discover unknown villages full of charm, organize a canyoning session, discover the mysterious fortresses on the mountainside, see one of the famous painted chapels. Itinerary: Gilette, Gars, Pierrefeu, Cigale, Roquesteron, Esteron departemental park Traditional French picnic: 16€/pp
