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.

Spend a day exploring Normandy backroads, small villages and visit two Medieval Castles of Normandy
Overview of your Bayeux tour
Take the back roads of Normandy and discover the small jewels of my region. This is a tour only a real local can create, as many of the places you will visit are not on the "tourist "map. The bucolic, Beuvron and Beaumont en Auge, Putot, Cambremer, Victot, and many other lovely small villages of Normandy will charm you. Driving an walking along the small roads, you'll see the spotted Normandy cows, thoroughbred broodmares, and young foals. In spring time, the apples trees will be covered with small white flowers as delicate as the Japanese cherry tree. In October, November, the aroma of fresh apples picked and pressed will be everywhere. In Falaise, I will share with you my passion for medieval history and present you in their castle Richard, John, and Henry, the dukes of Normandy as if they never left the place. To finish your day, in Bayeux, I will explain you the Bayeux Tapestry context and characters before you see it for yourself. This tour should leave you hungry for more of Normandy, I hope!
