I'm a tour guide passionate about connecting travelers with Normandy's rich history. With over ten years of experience, I've honed my skills in storytelling and communication to create memorable experiences for everyone. I understand the struggle travelers face in finding tours that truly engage them. That's why I've sought out training from the National Association for Interpretation (USA), where I've learned innovative techniques like using all five senses and encouraging open dialogue. These methods allow me to offer immersive experiences that go beyond just sharing facts. With over 1500 tours under my belt, I know the ins and outs of guiding visitors through Normandy's history. I'm dedicated to tailoring each tour to your interests, ensuring you have a personalized and insightful journey. My approach to history is interactive and engaging, whether you prefer a leisurely walk or a longer adventure. I want to ensure you not only learn but also feel connected to the past, making the most of your time in Normandy. If you're looking for a friendly, easy-going guide who is passionate about sharing the beauty and history of Normandy, I would love to have the pleasure of welcoming you on my tour.

    I recommend “Tours by Locals” for tours. Prior to our tour our guide did a lot of research about the things we wanted to see. We always received prompt replies to our emails sent during the whole process from time of booking to the actual tour.

    Lena was AMAZING! A wealth of knowledge and very personable. Despite off and on rain we managed to hit all of the spots we wanted to see and be back at our ship ahead of schedule. She was also so very kind to accomodate us with an early start which worked to our benefit given it was a very busy week in Normandy (D-day week). I highly recommend her

    Lena was highly knowledgable about the Normandy D-Day invasion and very effective at communicating that information over the course of a fact-filled and impactful day. The highlight of our trip to France !
