Bonjour! I grew up on the coast of Britanny - Western France, near the famous Normandy. I used to live in Paris for many years and moved not long ago to Versailles, the capital city of the french monarchy where the famous Sun King's Palace is. I guess it was meant to be because I've been fascinated by the royal history of France since I was a child… Later on, I discovered a special interest for foreign languages and lived in several countries to work on that (US, Spain, Mexico, Italy and Brazil). And if you add the fact that I love driving, then it's been the perfect recipe for me to become a driver-guide and take you all around France to share my love of this country. I have worked as a guide for a decade and specialized in private tours because I want to be able to share with you more than historical information. You actually really get to meet the people you greet only in private tours. It is definitely the best option to discover at your own pace and I'll be happy to offer flexibility, as this is what I look for when I travel myself. The region of Paris is usually the part that people first discover, there is so much to see! However it is also really worth to do trips outside Paris, to the WW2 landing beaches of Normandy, the Champagne vineyards, the Castles of the Loire Valley, and more. I can take you to all those places and you will experience the variety of the wonders of France, whether it comes to landscapes, architecture, food or wines. I look forward to hearing from you, knowing your expectations and getting started for a beautiful trip!

Overview of your Paris tour

The battle of Belleau Wood is remembered as one of the most important fights of the 1918 Allied counter-offensive. It took place in june 1918 in the famous Champagne region, about 60 miles east of Paris. It was so important that it is actually considered to be a founding battle of the modern U. S military forces, and to a U. S Marine ear, Belleau still sounds like a sacred name. This tour will allow you to discover how the American forces participated to creating the conditions for the final victory.

Your Paris tour itinerary

Pick up at 7:30am. It takes 1h30 to drive to the site where the battle of Belleau Wood took place. You will visit the beautiful American Cemetery where 2289 soldiers rest for eternity.
