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 Caen tour
Yes, I must admit it I love good food. When I am not busy doing or preparing tours, I cook. For my family, friends and even myself. I really love it. Normandy is an amazing Foodie paradise. In this full day tour you'll taste the best french cheese, Camembert of course but not only, try our delicious hard cider and Calvados, Normandy's liquid gold. You'll meet my friend, Jérome, Pont L'Evèque best cheese producer, and chairman of the Pont L'Evèque AOC board. You'll learn everything about Camembert in Camembert village, and about french cheese. Driving and walking through the most lovely villages of the Pays d'Auge, you'll understand with me that our cheeses and drinks can be made nowhere else, and enjoyed at their best right here. This is a tour for the Slow Food concerned, and for anyone looking for authentic quality products. You'll have a Gourmet lunch in a Michelin rated restaurant by the river, admiring the lovely Normandy cows. At the end of the day, the Calvados will have no more secrets for you.
