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!

1st day: The tour of the WW2 sites 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; Omaha Beach known as Bloody Omaha ; The American Cemetery located in the most peaceful place above the beach ; The Longues-sur-Mer artillery battery with its original bunkers and german guns; the artificial harbor of Arromanches. 2nd day: The Mont Saint Michel, known as the Wonder of the West, has appealed to pilgrims by the thousands down the centuries. You will be charmed by its medieval village and amazed by the breathtaking views over the bay, which has one of the highest tidal ranges in the world. It is not for nothing that it's been inscribed on Unesco's World Heritage list since 1979.
I'll pick you up at 7:00am from your hotel in Paris. After driving 1h30, we'll make a coffee stop. We'll drive another 1h30 to the 1rst site. - Pointe du Hoc, the Ranger Monument.
