Ysa, (and not Ysabelle!) is a French-Canadian women – more French than Canadian – who is genuinely obsessed with France, its history, architecture, culture, cuisine and language.

Since she firstly came to the Côte d'Azur in 2015 and since then, she could never forget about the palm trees, the colourful buildings, the Socca (local delicious dish!), the Mediterranean Sea and the pebble beaches. After realizing that all of her fibres were vibrating when being under the sun of the French Riviera, she completed her Bachelor in Communications and her Master in Sustainable Tourism at Université du Québec à Montréal et Trois-Rivières. She sold everything, packed one luggage, along with her cat Nano and moved to the French Riviera.

Now, she’s been living her dream – resident of a Medieval village, riding her Vespa to work, guiding people in Antibes, Cannes, Monaco and Nice, and driving 2CV Vintage French Cars on the most scenic roads ever. Her happiness and warmth are contagious.

So here’s a message to anybody who’d come to the South-East of France looking to truly connect with authenticity, respect and awareness: you are welcomed to connect with Ysa and open all the doors to a genuine discovery.
