Ezzedine Hosni created a rich, meaningful and engaging tour of the culture of Normandy and Picardy. We were particularly interested in the socio-political-cultural history immediately before, during, and after William the Conqueror, and Ezzedine tailored our day tour to those themes. Even though the Bayeaux tapestry will not be able to be viewed for 2 years, we got a sense of its content and historical meaning—as well as seeing the Cathedral where it usually resides. We went to Falaise the birthplace of William—which is a place that is not often known to people. We then spent time in Caen where William moved his reign and visited his gravesite and his queen. Ezzedine was very organized and articulate and personalized about his storytelling. We had a wonderful experience, and also was allowed to explore on our own to integrate all the experience.
