Tour Guide for now nine wonderful years, I am a very positive and ongoing person. It is really hard to get away the smile from my face ;o) When I decided to get my guiding license, more than 9 years ago now, I thought first, that it could be a summer job while on holiday from teaching, but I quickly realized what a great job guiding can be. I use to say, that now, my students are older than before, and are now really very interested in what they want me to speak about. Even better. I started doing tours for friends from California, years ago, then friends of their friends, and I now take people on my tours who become friends ;o) I live in in Normandy, where I was born, but I also lived in Paris, in the US , and in some other countries. That gives me the ability to understand other cultures and to adapt myself. Yet, Paradise is for me "here" in the green pastures of Normandy. Both my grandparents lived through the German occupation, and both were in the French Resistance. I have a very strong connection to my region. That really started my passion for digging in the past. After an education in Normandy, I went studying History and Journalism in Paris at the Sorbonne. As a real History buff, I have created some unique itineraries no one else did before me, like the real Viking tour on the footsteps of the Vikings of Normandy. I try as much as possible to do things the best I can. I am a perfectionist, and I assume. I am married and have two lovely daughters. Besides my family and my job, I love horses. I have horses at home. I will sure see you very soon on one of my Tours. Bye. MA in History Licensed guide. VTC Licensed under DLS.

    Igor was very accommodating of our schedule as we had a long drive and limited time to be at Omaha and the cemetery. He’s extremely knowledgeable about WW2 in general and the D Day beaches in particular. Excellent English speaker.

    This tour was exceptional thanks to an outstanding guide whose expertise and communication skills truly stood out. Igor delivered clear explanations, rich context, and a level of organization that made the entire experience seamless. What impressed us most was his ability to adapt to our needs. As an older couple touring on one of the hottest days, we deeply appreciated...

    Igor did an excellent job of sharing World War II history with us with spoken words, pictures and videos. It was a tight schedule and he managed it masterfully, including getting us to the American cemetery in time for lowering of the flag and Taps. Unforgettable.
