I've been lucky enough to be a tour guide in Normandy since 2007 after having studied tourism in Paris. I couldn't have imagined then how much I would value each day I live and work in this wonderful and historic region. Whether you've been reading about the sites you want to see here in Normandy and have finally managed to get the chance to come and see it for yourself, or you just want you and your family to develop a better understanding of the events that happened here, I appreciate that this is very likely a once in a lifetime occassion and I will try to make your visit an unforgettable experience for you. As a visual person I need to see something with my own eyes to try to understand it and I think many people are like this as well. Consequently I work with maps and photos to help you to understand locations and how and why things happened there. It's also great to see the difference between then and now. I only give private tours because I believe that conversations during our day together make all the difference. We can walk out on the beach as much as you want, and whenever anything isn't clear, please just ask a question, that's why I'm here! Often visitors end their day with me and say they've enjoyed learing about the history of the events, but what I find so passionate about it is that everyone has their own interests and perhaps personal stories to share. I will talk about the overall history (and for the D-Day tours this will include as well personal and local stories of people involved). Whenever I can, I'll take little side streets to show you what Normandy really looks like and how people live, and lived, out here in the country side. If you think that I might be the guide you are looking for, come on tour with me for a great journey!

Overview of your Bayeux tour

This tour will show you some of the main sites where allied soldiers landed on D-Day as well as some of the German defense positions and the remains of the artifical harbor in Arromanches. We will get out on sites and on the beaches (if the tide allows) and you will hear what happened there in the early hours of June 6th. I will show you the remaining bunkers and gun positions and point out specific actions that took place on those sites. As often as I can I use maps and photos to help understand everything better. We will have as well the chance to pay our respects to some of the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom today in visiting the American cemetery. This is a very unique place, very peacefull, and overlooking Omaha, the beach where Americans had the highest casualties on D-Day. I usually prefer showing the real battle sites and the cemetery and don't spend much time in musuems. However if you wish to see a museum, it'll shorten the time spent at the other sites.
