Founder

Fatou

Born in Mali, Fatou grew up on the French Riviera, particularly in Monaco.

Following in the footsteps of her great-uncle, a history and geography teacher, and after obtaining a double degree in foreign languages and tourism, she naturally gravitated towards a career as a certified tour guide.

With her company offering personalised tours in the Principality of Monaco and on the French Riviera, she designed and proposed to the Société des Bains de Mer the opening of tours to the Monte-Carlo Casino. After ten years of close collaboration with Alcyon, she became a partner.

A lover of this region, she offers classic or tailor-made tours for individuals, families or very small groups to create unique and special moments, as if you were among friends.

Her motto is to convey, exchange and share the richness of this incredible region through conversation and good humour!

We look forward to meeting you!
