My name is Sophie and I was born in the city of Caen, located in the beautiful region of Normandy, France. Ever since I came back from the United States in 2012, where I lived for twelve years, I have had the exciting opportunity to become a Tour guide in my natal Norman area. I am always enthused to share with all my travelers the history and heritage, as well as the art, folklore and gastronomy of Normandy and France. My new profession here in France has given me the opportunity to pursue one of my life passions, which is to work with the public. Part of my professional experience includes working as a teacher in the field of early childhood in the United States. The eleven years that I spent exercising this profession gave me the opportunity to work with people from different walks of life. The diversity in people is a trait that I most treasure about humanity. I strongly believe that everyone has something to contribute to society as a whole, and I appreciate and embrace different perspectives of life. Within the realm of my professional experience, I can also include Theatre. This fine art is one of my most treasured passions in life as well. After graduation, I began working as an intern with Teatro di Rifredi, a theatre company in Italy as a cultural attaché. Overall, my professional theatrical background encompasses over ten years of experience from age thirteen, through graduation and includes working in various positions acting in plays with several companies. I am very happy to combine this involvement in the Arts with the hospitality field where I now work, and I have incorporated Tours that include plays and other theatrical exhibits and pieces. My ultimate goal is to provide unique experiences to guests in my guided tours. As demonstrated throughout my labor, I feel that my experience and appreciated fascination for the areas involving guiding (again, history, art and languages/regional tradition) allow me to add a unique touch to the experiences I provide and customize to my visitors for a more personal touch in each and every one of them, making each one special. - Bachelor Guide Conférencier/Licensed Tour Guide - Early Childhood Education License - Bachelor Arts, Theatre studies - VTC/Driver Guide None

I will be delighted to show you and explain to you Caen rich history and heritage. The town where I was born and grew up. William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy founded his castle and two abbeys were built before William became King of England. Caen offers a varied panel over time. You will discover a unique architecture ranging from the medieval, the Renaissance and the reconstruction during the 50s. Caen can be explored on foot or using the car as needed. While I will take you throughout the bustling city, I will tell you about the revaluation of one's heritage after the Second World war. I will have the opportunity to recommend you any nice restaurants along the way! This guided tour can definitely be customized!
I don't have a rigid schedule, because exploration is about discovering new things and new places, and sometimes, when you discover something interesting, you want to stay longer in this place. Anyway, the "a priori" suggestion could be: - The castle - Mathilde Abbey - Marina and Place Courtonne - Saint Peter's Church - Hotel d'Escoville - Saint-Pierre Street - Place Saint-Sauveur - Place Fontette - William's Abbey The level of activity is moderate, but as Caen is so spread out, you'll need to do a bit of walking. Depending on the time you have available, you may decide to visit only part of the city, which is also enjoyable. All my tours can be customized upon request. I can arrange a vehicle for your group if you wish, for a maximum of 4 adults and 2 children.
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
