Discover Paris with a guide who combines deep cultural knowledge, strong organization, and the ability to adapt every visit to your interests. More than 1400 tours on ToursByLocals & more than 500 reviews almost all of them 5 stars. I have been working as a professional guide since 2012 and I truly enjoy sharing Paris through clear, structured and engaging explanations. I have a very synthetic mindset and know how to highlight what really matters, making complex topics easy to understand and memorable. I am highly organized, especially when it comes to timing and logistics. My tours are designed to run smoothly and efficiently, allowing guests to make the most of their time. I am also a skilled and confident driver, used to navigating Paris efficiently and driving on day trips far away in the french countryside. Rather than focusing on a single specialty, I offer a broad and solid cultural knowledge — a “Swiss army knife” approach — which allows me to adapt quickly to a wide variety of interests and expectations : French history & Revolution, monarchy, gardens, architecture, religion, gastronomy, wine, urban development, real estate, monuments, museums and small talk too … I am particularly passionate about painting and sculpture, and I enjoy revealing the context, symbolism and hidden meanings behind artworks and doing so helping visitors better understand the masterpieces. I adapt easily to each guest’s pace, curiosity and level of knowledge. Whether you are looking for a structured historical overview, an interactive discussion, or a flexible and personalized itinerary, I adjust my guiding style accordingly. I genuinely enjoy communicating my knowledge and making cultural content accessible, clear and engaging. If you are looking for a reliable, well-organized and adaptable guide who can cover a wide range of topics while offering clear explanations and smooth logistics, I will be happy to design a tour tailored to your wishes. Contact me with your interests and I will design your perfect Paris itinerary !

Overview of your Paris tour

Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword: more than 50 miles of beaches that changed the course of history. This private tour is designed for visitors who want to pay tribute to the soldiers who fought and died in Normandy during World War II, while truly understanding what happened here. As we travel through Normandy, the journey also gives perspective on the region itself. Along the road, we may talk about the Vikings, William the Conqueror, Joan of Arc, the Norman countryside, food traditions, historic harbors and impressionnism. The core of the tour focuses on World War II: the origins of the conflict, the Battle of France, the Atlantic Wall, the preparation of D-Day in England, Operation Overlord, the Battle of Normandy, Allied leaders, resistance networks and logistics. The visit is organized around key sites: Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery, and Arromanches (artificial harbor). Traveling by private vehicle allows a flexible pace, smooth logistics and a full, meaningful day on site.

Our Normandy D Day tour with Romain was wonderful. First, he was on time. He was very educated on everything involving Paris and Normandy. He picked us up at our Airbnb and as we were driving towards Normandy through the city, he showed us things in Paris we didn't know. He stopped for us a couple times along the route even though it was not on the agenda. He knew everything there was to know about that war and how it ended the way it did. He also had a great sense of humor and made us feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Romain for your D-Day trip.

we had a wonderful time with Roman. He picked us up on time. He whisked us through Paris and we were on our way. Normandy is about 3 hours away. We stopped at a gas station for the bathroom and a bite to eat. We then arrived in Normandy. Roman had extensive knowledge of the remains of the Nazi war remnants. we were quite surprised with the craters still visible around the bunkers. We stopped next for cider and Calvados. This was nothing we needed but the woman pouring for us was nice. We visited Utah Beach and the American Cemetery. Our whole day was around 11 hours which included a lunch stop in Colleville-sur-Mer. if you have a chance, book with Roman. You won't be disappointed.

Romain gave us an amazing tour of Normandy. He has an incredible amount of historical knowledge. We were able to see everything that was promised and more, like the stop for Cider tasting. He was pleasant and funny and showed us how to properly eat mussels!

Romain was a great guide for our family of four adults and one child (age 10). His knowledge of Normandy and specifically June 6, 1944 was very educational. The tour included the German artillery encampments, the beaches both Omaha and Juno, the United States cemetery and the museum’s which surround Normandy. It was a long day but a very memorable day. As a family we highly recommend Romain.

Roman was an excellent guide filled with historical information. The tour was well thought out and timed perfectly so that we had the appropriate amount of time at each stop. He was also a very good driver which means a lot since we spent many hours in his comfortable car.
