Invited to travel from Paris to Nice to receive an academic award for my research at the Université Côte d’Azur the previous year, I felt deeply honoured. The ceremony was scheduled for Friday night, and I arrived in the early afternoon, planning to return to Paris on Sunday. As soon as I landed, Ebtiseme welcomed me with a warm smile, immediately making me feel at home. She drove a beautiful electric Mercedes Sedan, which felt like a fitting touch given my research had been on sustainability.
Ebtiseme took me to my hotel, patiently waiting while I changed into my gala dress before driving me to the ceremony venue. The evening was fantastic, filled with recognition and honour for my work. After the event, back at the hotel, Ebtiseme confirmed our Sunday pick-up time. In passing, I mentioned my free Saturday and my wish to visit the Cap Ferrat peninsula and its gardens. Without hesitation, she offered to be my chauffeur for the day, extending her service beyond the initial booking.
On Saturday, Ebtiseme picked me up and guided me through the breathtaking sights of Cap Ferrat. She showed her expertise in the area as she led me to hidden gems that typical tourists might miss. Her willingness to go the extra mile turned an already wonderful trip into an unforgettable weekend.
Ebtiseme’s dedication and local knowledge enhanced my experience and left me with cherished memories of the French Riviera, all thanks to her exceptional care and consideration.
“Guiding visitors through the beauty of the French Riviera, especially when celebrating their achievements, is a true pleasure. On such special occasions, it allows me to add a personal touch to their remarkable journeys.”
