Vincent Pasquinelli: Certified Tour Guide and Expert of the Avignon Region

Mr. Vincent Pasquinelli is a qualified tour guide and a native of the Avignon region, where he grew up in the shadow of the Palais des Papes. This early immersion in the history of the papal city profoundly influenced his vocation to share local heritage.

An experienced professional, Mr. Pasquinelli has over fifteen years of experience as a tour guide, including a decade spent internationally. This has allowed him to perfect the art of storytelling and adapt his tours to a global clientele, fluent in French, English, and Spanish.

Upon returning to Avignon, he founded Heart of Provence (HOP), a platform dedicated to creating and delivering bespoke private tours in Avignon and the surrounding area. His offerings are distinguished by immersive and personalized experiences, focusing on walking tours, themed visits (papal history, art history, architecture, etc.), and explorations of iconic sites such as Villeneuve-lès-Avignon.

Mr. Pasquinelli favours a slow and sustainable tourism approach, limiting the size of groups (maximum ten people) in order to ensure an intimate and in-depth experience, allowing visitors to discover the authentic soul of Provence beyond conventional routes.
