D-Day Landings Full Day Shore Excursion from LeHavre

Hello and welcome to Normandie! I was born in Cambrai, in the North of France in 1988. I developed an early interest for History by listening to my grandfather's memories, a man who served during the Algerian War. A particular passion for the history and events of World War II arose in me after the release of the movie "Saving Private Ryan" in 1998 when I was only 10 years old. From this point in time, I knew that I wanted to combine my passion with my career. I hold a Degree in Tourism, a "Interpretive National Tour Guide" License and the National Certificate for Tour Guiding which I acquired through my studies in Amiens and Boulogne-sur-Mer. During this time, I obtained essential knowledge in theory and practice, through intensive studies and essential internships, such as at the 39/45 Memorial in Saint Malo. I do not have any restrictions in regards to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences. In 2013, I decided to spend one year in London to fully optimize my English skills. After returning to France in 2014, I was offered a job by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) at the Normandy American Cemetery, Colleville-sur-Mer, where I gained an even deeper and precise historical understanding through training, research and work experience. My interactions with veterans and the ceremony of the 70th D-Day anniversary in 2014 have made an immense impact in my perception and awareness of the soldiers and their sacrifice for France during World War II.
