I'm a licenced national guide for more than 25 years. I live in Normandy for more than 20 years and so the most interesting sites have no secrets for me. I've worked many years with US, Canadian and British visitors and can adapt to their needs. I'm a specialist of the landing Beaches including: The US sectors (Omaha, Utah), the British sectors ( Sword, Juno) &the Canadian sector ( Juno). The museums and sites concerning the battle of Normandy and WW2 are well-known by me. - the historical and picturesque sites of Honfleur, Deauville, Etretat, Rouen, Giverny, Caen, Bayeux, Mont Saint Michel, the typical area Le Pays d'Auge. . . I am a part-time associate professor in history and cultural heritage in the University of Caen; I used to work as a consultant with Unesco in the field of world heritage; I travelled to many countries in the world as a tour leader or for personal purpose; I am active in cultural associations and sports activities. I am married and have two sons. I am a licensed national guide for more than 25 years. I work also as a part-time associate professor at the University of Caen in the Department of History. I used to be a consultant with the Unesco in restoration and preservation of the sites of the world heritage. My involvement in cultural tourism and my experience as a tour leader for many years motivates my interest to be a tourist guide. I like to exchange with guests and make them discover wonderful sites. As a certified French national tour guide, I'm allowed to guide everywhere and to pick you up directly at your hotels, train stations and ship docks. There are no restrictions for me in France.
