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.

    Our trip to Normandy was a memorable experience thanks to Igor. We were a group of 8 on a cruise that stopped in Le Havre, France. He picked us up promptly at 0800, at the cruise port and took us on a whirlwind tour of Omaha and surrounding areas. He planned the tour perfectly to maximize our experience and was very knowledgeable about the history of D-Day, the French...

    We booked a D-Day Tour with Igor as a shore excursion for our clients, Tom and Donna S. The following are their thoughts: It was a long drive to and from Omaha Beach so having a knowledgeable and engaging guide for the journey was a plus, we felt very informed by the time we walked on the beach. A nice touch was the very French café he arranged for lunch. Because of his...

    Igor was AMAZING! He should be your guide for this area 100%. If you want to learn about the War and things specific to D-Day pick him. Everything was fantastic and we accomplished all of our goals for this (what felt like quick) excursion. Thanks Igor!
