My name is Vincent an official tour guide/lecturer in Paris and France. I am a licensed tour guide in France and I have been working since 1989. It was the year when Paris celebrated the centenary of the Eiffel Tower as well as the bicentennial of the French Revolution. My knowledge in art history and History grew over the years and I like to share it with visitors. Most of my work experience has been in conducting small groups and private tours because I like interaction to be able to adapt to desires and expectations. I am flexible with families. I can guide in different means: driving, biking and walking. These can give you the possibility to discover Paris and its culture with a wide range of aspects such as food, architecture and also to tour the different museums inside such as the Louvre, Orsay, Orangerie and the palace of Versailles. Departing from Paris I can show you the diversity of the countryside with the impressionist touch of Giverny, the château of Fontainebleau, the cathedral of Chartres or the Landing Beaches of Normandy as well as the battlefields of the First World War in Champagne and Picardie and more. . . So do not hesitate to contact me. Guide conferencier and licensed driver

Day trip from Paris
Overview of your Paris tour
The plan of this 12 to 13-hour tour is to cover the significant landmarks along the 50 miles long landing beaches used by the allies on June 6th, 1944 to free Europe from the Nazi oppression. I will cover the different sites of the battle of Normandy that ended up on August 21st before the American troops entered Paris. Places that evoke bloody combats like the American cemetery at Omaha beach, used today as a memorial to thank those who paid of their lives to free Europe. Places that evoke courage like "la Pointe du Hoc" (Ranger's cliff) Or the huge logistic effort at Arromanches along the coast.

We have used Vincent before & knew he would come through for us again. His knowledge is extraordinary and he imparts it with good humor & wit. Vincent is a winner no matter for what tour you choose to use him.
Diane K.United States
Normandy Tour was fantastic! Vincent was our intended guide that we booked for our group of 4, however he ended up having an “important administrative appointment” on the same day and suggested a guide to fill in for him. He assured us his recommended guide GiGi was the “best” Normandy guide. Because Vincent has many 5 star reviews we felt he would not steer us wrong. He was right, GiGi was outstanding! The purpose of this trip was to see the actual location and learn more, as two of our fathers had been in WWII and landed on these beaches- it was very powerful and moving. Thank you Vincent for the recommendation and thank you GiGi for one of the most impressionable tours we’ve been on.

Vincent was a very informative guide with lots of history to share. We had a lovely day exploring Normandy landing along with some of his favorite stops in the area.

If you want the best tour guide then you have to get Daniel. He was very informative and knew all the little things that make a great tour. I would highly recommend Daniel. He picks a great lunch place as an added bonus
Nancy K.United States
Vincent was fantastic. Good communication and flexibility setting things up for 4 of us to spend a day in Normandy. He wisely and correctly suggested not traveling there on Sunday due to return traffic but it was our only option and he put the day together well. He was pleasant and super informative. He also navigated crowds well including the timing and location for lunch. He is also a great driver! The day was just what we needed. Thank you so much Vincent.
