Live your Normandy like a local
If you’re looking for an exclusive tour with your own personal bi-lingual local – guide and you would like to discover Normandy as a privileged guest, then I can make it happen for you.
I have dual citizenship, fluent in both French & American and sound just like a native. I love my country (both of them) so let me guide you as a friend/host to the
« ins » and « outs» of Normandy and with me you will eat, drink, experience Normandy like a local.
I’m specialized in the American sector of the D-Day Landing beaches and we can spend 2 to 3 days in that area, a 60 miles wide front, but at the same time, I would like for my guests to experience the other delicacies of Normandy as well as enjoy the beautiful countryside with its picturesque stone-houses villages.
I can tailor-make your tour to your needs and requests and can be quite flexible

Normandy Gourmet foodies tour
With close to 350 miles of coastline, Normandy has a great variety of fresh seafood and dairy but also Calvados & apple cider
On their way to England the Romans tried planting vineyards but later the men from the « North » the Vikings started growing apple trees which led to cider. After the discovery of distillation in the 15th century, Calvados brandy was made and found it’s way to the fine dining tables of the most prestigious restaurants of Normandy, France and beyond. 
Many dairy cows can be observed as we travel through the Normandy countryside for, we’re in the land of fresh cream, milk and butter but also cheese (Camembert, Pont-Lévêque, Livarot) and what better way to understand this than to find out how it’s made. Discover the “Gourmet foodies 4 C’s” tour
And you cannot leave Normandy without having tasted our Normandy caramels made with salted butter.
