Guide #44847

I was born in Normandy. I grew up on a farm near Caen in a little village called Tilly la Campagne (65 inhabitants, 100% destroyed during WWII). My father, my grandparents, my uncles and now my brother-in-law are all farmers. I went to study in at an agriculture school for 5 years. As a trainee, I've spent 3 months working on a cider farm. Since this training period, I drink Cider almost every day ! After my agriculture studies, I moved near Paris to study Business & Marketing in the Food Industry. Then I decided to spend 2 years in Africa to work with farmers in the bush. Such an incredible experience… Back to France, I worked for 16 years in different Food Industry companies as an Innovation Marketing Manager focusing on 'What would the food be tomorrow ?' I was living in Paris, far from my Normandy and my family, so I decided to come back ! Since 2013, I have shared my passion which is Normandy. I feel like a countryman. I love Normandyyyy and particularly its 'terroir'. I welcome visitors from all over who would like to discover the deep countryside in a very picturesque sub-region of Normandy called: 'Le Pays d'Auge'! The Pays d'Auge is like a postcard of Normandy with apple trees, norman cows, horses, half-timbered houses. . . This diversity gives us hard cider, apple brandy called Calvados, 4 different kind of cheeses such as Camembert, foals and yearlings. I am not a licensed guide but who is more legitimate to talk about agriculture, food and landscapes than an agronomist ? I am ready to customize your tours with your expectations because it will be YOUR DAY. . . Come to discover another part of Normandy with me! Agriculture school / 5 years Business school in Food Industy / 2 years Cuisine diploma Driving licence for car and coach (up to 20 persons) I am not a licensed but I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences

    Damien was an excellent guide and driver for our day touring in Normandy. I wish I could give him more than five stars. We learned so much and were awed by our day touring the beaches where such bravery was on display in WWII. He shared stories about the landing at Omaha Beach that brought the scene to life, which really made it a fuller experience for us. We visited the...

    Dear Margaret, thank you so much for your tour review. It was such a pleasure to meet you and spend the day with you and Mark.

    Damien Hue proved to be a guide extraordinaire, He was extremely comfortable to be around. We found him knowledgeable, courteous, and very personable. He provided surprise encounters; such as the Mayor of Saint -Marie-du-Mont, who gave us very personal perspectives of D-Day. Learning things I wasn't aware of or even knew before. Completely unreal experience that will stay...
