My name is Sabrina. I was born and raised in Normandy. My family is an old Norman family and I spent all my life in Normandy. I studied in Caen University, Normandy. I studied English language, American and British history, history of arts and American and British literature. I have always had a passion for Normandy history as it is part of my own family history. My great grandfather fought both in World War I and in World War II. My grandmother told me stories about their lives in Normandy during World War II and the German occupation. I also discovered very early how rich is Norman culture. This is how my curiosity and passion for Normandy history started. I started to be a tour guide in 2007. This long experience really makes a difference! I am very happy to share my knowledge and my passion for Normandy with the whole world! I really want your experience in Normandy to be unforgettable! I have a degree to be a national lecturer tour guide. I have a bachelor's degree in English language, English and American civilization and litterature. I have an A level in history of arts and another one in work organization and management. I have a license to drive vehicles for more than 9 passengers. I have an official capacity to drive vehicles for public transportation. I have the governmental official ability to be a CEO for a transportation company, any size of vehicles, in any country. I am a national tour guide and lecturer so there aren't any restrictions on my tours. I am able to give guided tours anywhere, including in national monuments.
