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 Deauville tour

Spend a day with William the Conqueror, the duke of Normandy, and King of England. My passion is Medieval History, and this is my favorite tour. I love explaining that this part of our History is much, much more complex and rich than what most movies can show us. Anyone can see the Bayeux Tapestry. Yet, with a real expert, every little detail will make much more sense to you. You'll understand with me, why, and how did Normandy conquer England in 1066, and the legacy of this period to nowadays. In Falaise, you'll be immersed in the Medieval Castle of William the Conqueror. Through the furnished rooms, and listening to the Dukes of Normandy, as you get to the keep, you'll feel back a 1000 years ago. Through other castles of the Dukes, you'll discover more of the History, and of the stories of the Knights, Princesses, the times of the crusaders.
