I was born in Normandy, France, where I also studied. After graduating in 1981, I served in the French Army (Gendarmerie). My dedication to service led me directly to the tourism and service industry where I have been a guide for the past 10 years. And as a true native of France, I have the natural ability to reveal the history and culture of my country by creating memorable experiences for my clients. I also bring with me a passion for art. I discovered the joy of painting when I was given a painting set on my eighth birthday - It was love at first sight! I continued to refine my artistic talent, under a Belgium artist, while I traveled across Europe buying art and antiques. After many years of managing my own antiques and art gallery in Paris, I ventured to the United States in 1999 and spent about 14 years there. Since then, I have returned to Paris and I balance my time cross-continent as a professional guide and a listed artist. WSET diploma.(Sommelier)

Private local guide & Private Driver for one full day
Overview of your Paris tour
Your tour begins at your hotel, where your private guide, a Normandy native, greets you and accompanies you in a luxury car with a private driver. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories about Normandy and its crucial role in WWII. Your first stop is Utah Beach, home to a museum featuring an original B-26 airplane, one of only six in the world and the only one in France. Take a moment to reflect on the peaceful beauty of the beach, in stark contrast to the events of D-Day. Next, visit the Dick Winters monument and Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, the first village liberated by American GIs. Afterward, enjoy a relaxing lunch at a charming local restaurant. Continue to Pointe du Hoc, where bomb craters, bunkers, and towering cliffs tell the story of the fierce battles fought there. The most emotional moment comes at the American Cemetery, with over 9,000 graves honoring the fallen. Conclude the day with a walk on Omaha Beach. You’ll leave with lasting memories of Normandy’s history and beauty.
