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.

Overview of your Bayeux tour

This is the perfect tour for those who want to want to combine the discovery of France in a limited time frame from Paris with the comfort a Licensed Private Driver-Guide. Starting with the flamboyant Chateaux of the Loire Valley of Chambord, Chenonceau and Amboise, you'll then visit Rouen, the cultural and economical center of Normandy. The city where in 1431 Joan of Arc was burned, where in 1389 the first clock was built in Europe. You'll immerse yourself into the "Pillars of the earth " in Notre Dame Cathedral. Honfleur, the port where so many traders, pirates and privateers docked will come to life as I will tell you their story. At the Normandy American Cemetery, I'll share with you the stories of many of the 9338 young boys fallen here for Liberty, and the knowledge gained not only from the Sorbonne, but also from my grand parents who served in the Resistance. At the Mont St Michel, through the "stories " and "History" I will tell you, you'll delve into more than 1000 years of French history!

We most certainly enjoyed our 3 day tour of the Loire Valley, Normandy, the American beaches, Honfleur, St. Malo and Mont Saint Michel Although very fast paced, we were overwhelmed with Igor's knowledge and how prepared he (and his van) were for the tour. He thought of everything, including water, umbrellas and having videos and other didactics available to us during the drives. He also made our hotel reservations and gave us some great restaurant recommendations. I highly recommend this tour.

Igor was an excellent guide for our travels of France. We were able to see the sights of Paris that interested us and also to wander the countryside visiting Giverny and Monet's garden, Rouen, Honfeur, and Mont Saint Michel's Abbey in Normandy. Closer to Paris we visited the Palace of Versailles and the Chateau de Vaux Le Vicomte. Igor drove us to these sites, giving us personal guided tours, allowing us to spend the time and ask questions we wanted. He tailored site info to our curiosity.
