Licensed guide and passionated, master degree in French history, I've always been passionated by my region history and very grateful to be able to share it with my guests. My first job as a guide was for the birthplace of William the conqueror in Falaise. Later I moved to south of France, working as a tour guide in Toulouse (the pink city) then working for a cheese company (Roquefort blue cheese) during one and a half year. Then I went back to Normandy, my birthplace where I can cover with my knowledge more than 2000 years of history. From the Romans occupation and my town Bayeux, named back then Augustudurum. The vikings and their settlement in 911 and the Saint Claire Sur Epte treaty. Our first Duc (Yarle) name was Rollo (Rolf) well known as Rollo "long legs". In 1027 was born William the Bastard known later as William the conqueror Duc of Normandy. 1066 is when he defeated is cousin due the Battle of Hastings (14 October). William became the the First Norman Duc of Normandy and King of England. The hundred years war, . . . the Revolution or the German occupation during the 40's. Normandy will make you understand the world of yesterday that shapes the world of today.   As a licensed and private guide, I will show you secret parts of my region's history to make you feel like a local. Normandy and its history will bring you back in time. International licenced guide. Normandy history university (Caen). No restrictions.
