French Riviera with Ysa has been created in a way to guide visitors to genuinely discover.
Founded by Ysa herself in 2025, she was looking to share her passion for the French Riviera in a more dynamic way. She firstly came to the French Riviera 10 years prior, in 2015, during a school trip; since then, she couldn’t forget about the palm trees, the colourful buildings, the Socca, the Mediterranean Sea and the pebble beaches.
Coming from Montréal, she’s a French-Canadian women – more French than Canadian – who is absolutely obsessed with France. History, architecture, culture, cuisine, language; all of her fibres are vibrating when she’s under the sun of the Côte d’Azur. After completing 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 (even on Sundays!) 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 of France looking to truly connect with authenticity, respect and awareness: you are welcomed to connect with French Riviera with Ysa and open all the doors to a genuine discovery.
