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 met us as we exited the ship and promptly started our tour. As it was early he first took us for coffee and muffins before heading on our 1 1/2 hour drive to Normandy beaches. As two of six Canadian had a father had been stationed in Normandy during WWII, this was a very meaningful experience. Igor was so knowledgeable and shared all his information on the events...

    We had a fabulous and emotional day with Igor! So much history and despite all we thought we knew about D-Day, we learned so much more. Igor smoothly changed our itinerary as rain alternated with sunshine! Thank you!

    Good tour. The air in the van was a problem. The guide pushed going to a. 5 star restaurant and that was not our priority.

    Hello Ms Swanson, The AC in the van was working. We had it checked two weeks prior to the tour. It was all the way down to the coldest. Now, concerning the restaurant I told you when I met you that I had booked this restaurant, the best of the Mont St Michel and on busy days like now in May the only one with good food and good service. Half of the group was very happy...

    Great tour! I'm so glad we had Igor to guide us through Mont St Michel. I realize now how much we would have missed if we hadn't had his expert commentary.
