I'm a tour guide passionate about connecting travelers with Normandy's rich history. With over ten years of experience, I've honed my skills in storytelling and communication to create memorable experiences for everyone. I understand the struggle travelers face in finding tours that truly engage them. That's why I've sought out training from the National Association for Interpretation (USA), where I've learned innovative techniques like using all five senses and encouraging open dialogue. These methods allow me to offer immersive experiences that go beyond just sharing facts. With over 1500 tours under my belt, I know the ins and outs of guiding visitors through Normandy's history. I'm dedicated to tailoring each tour to your interests, ensuring you have a personalized and insightful journey. My approach to history is interactive and engaging, whether you prefer a leisurely walk or a longer adventure. I want to ensure you not only learn but also feel connected to the past, making the most of your time in Normandy. If you're looking for a friendly, easy-going guide who is passionate about sharing the beauty and history of Normandy, I would love to have the pleasure of welcoming you on my tour.

Discover the history behind Utah Beach with your local guide
Overview of your Bayeux tour
We discover the essential of Utah Beach Landing in half-day tour. Shortly after midnight on the night of 6 June, two American airborne divisions filled the skies over Normandy with gliders and parachutes. They secured four causeways and several key towns of the Cotentin peninsula. We stop in a famous Saint Mere Eglise. It would be possible to visit Airborne Museum. Even if two assault battalions of the 8th IR landed 2000 yards south of where they should have been, they managed to take the position of Utah Beach with very light casualty rate. We will visit Utah Beach and monuments around. We finish our day by visiting Angouville-au-Plain near Drop Zone D for 101 airborne Division.
