Astrid Caternet

My name is Astrid Caternet and I was born in the Netherlands. I have been living in Aix-en-Provence for many years now.
I started my professional career as an executive assistant, but it was during my magical stay in Saint-Tropez that my passion for Provence truly began.

Since that moment, I have fallen in love with this exceptional region, its timeless charm and its breathtaking landscapes.
I realised that I wanted to immerse myself in the unique French craftsmanship. After a wine training course, I was fortunate to work for several years in the fascinating world of wine.

Today, I am happy to combine my passions: wine, travel planning and human contact with my job as a tourist guide. Thanks to my extensive travels and international professional experience, I have come to understand the specific needs of travellers. I am fluent in French, English, German and Dutch, which allows me to accompany visitors from all over the world and share with them the beauty and secrets of the region.

In every country and on every guided tour, I realised there was often a lack of detailed attention with a true personalised service.
That is why I decided to create VIP Guide Provence, a service for tailor-made tours in Provence with care and discretion, aiming to make each visit unique and unforgettable.

I put all my heart into providing authentic experiences and revealing the well-kept secrets of the region. Let yourself be taken on a tailor-made adventure, blending luxury and charm, in the heart of Provence.
