Tour Guide for now nine wonderful years, I am a very positive and ongoing person. It is really hard to get away the smile from my face ;o) When I decided to get my guiding license, more than 9 years ago now, I thought first, that it could be a summer job while on holiday from teaching, but I quickly realized what a great job guiding can be. I use to say, that now, my students are older than before, and are now really very interested in what they want me to speak about. Even better. I started doing tours for friends from California, years ago, then friends of their friends, and I now take people on my tours who become friends ;o) I live in in Normandy, where I was born, but I also lived in Paris, in the US , and in some other countries. That gives me the ability to understand other cultures and to adapt myself. Yet, Paradise is for me "here" in the green pastures of Normandy. Both my grandparents lived through the German occupation, and both were in the French Resistance. I have a very strong connection to my region. That really started my passion for digging in the past. After an education in Normandy, I went studying History and Journalism in Paris at the Sorbonne. As a real History buff, I have created some unique itineraries no one else did before me, like the real Viking tour on the footsteps of the Vikings of Normandy. I try as much as possible to do things the best I can. I am a perfectionist, and I assume. I am married and have two lovely daughters. Besides my family and my job, I love horses. I have horses at home. I will sure see you very soon on one of my Tours. Bye. MA in History Licensed guide. VTC Licensed under DLS.

Overview of your Rouen tour

On this full day tour of the Normandy D-Day sites from Rouen or Paris, not only will you see the most important places of that day which changed the course of history, but you'll also learn many less-known facts only a real local can tell you. As a grand-son of Resistance fighters and third generation in Normandy, I can say that I really know what I am talking about when it comes to Normandy, D-Day and the battle of Normandy. Marguerite , my grandmother used to celebrate all her life, D-Day, June 6th, for two reasons: for Liberty, and also for the fact that she got married the next day thanks to Liberty arriving. Also, did you know that our local apple brandy, the Calvados, played quite a role in the preparation of the success of D-Day? And did you know why, among the five landing beaches, Omaha Beach, got so much reinforced prior to June 1944? I'll explain you that on this fantastic full- day Private Tour of the Normandy D-Day Beaches from Rouen or Paris.
