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

This Tour is really great for family as I have designed it especially for them. You'll spend the day in the boots of Ragnar and Rollo from Vikings. You'll sail for a few hours on a real Viking Ship. You'll really experience what rowing or steering such a long ship meant. You'll have lunch just like the Vikings ate back then. You'll also spend some time in a Viking Village near Caen, and see for yourself how they lived, worked and fought. And because Vikings also worshiped the apple tree for the eternal youth it gave, they also made hard cider, Normandy's "wine". Discover Normandy's cider and apple brandy in Cambremer, where you'll visit one of the best Calvados distilleries of my region. And to finish your day, I'll show you Honfleur, the most lovely port of Normandy, also founded by a Viking called Hon. The church and village of Honfleur - where I got married - was built with their ships, and has an amazing style. If you're looking for a really unique and fun tour, this is the one!
