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

Let's go and follow in the footsteps of those who sacrificed their lives nearly 80 years ago. This tour aims at keeping alive, through generations, the memory of the soldiers who fought in the terrible Battle of Normandy that started on June 6th, 1944. What better way to achieve this aim than going there? I will guide you towards the major sites of the Landing Beaches such as Pointe du Hoc, where the US Rangers proved the highest courage ; Utah Beach ; Omaha Beach known as Bloody Omaha and The American Cemetery located in the most peaceful place above the beach. This tour will allow you to understand the different steps of the landing operations and the progression of the Allied forces. You will be struck by the contrast between the peace and beauty of the area, and its war scars everywhere. After the tour, you will go back home with unforgettable memories and a new perspective.
