Oliver and Normandy 44 Tours gave our family (2 adults, 1 pre-teen) an amazing day of sightseeing…read moreand touring. Oliver's knowledge goes beyond just taking you to the big sites and telling you a few things. Oliver's knowledge is truly deep, giving you insights that you will never get from a book or internet search. Some of the history of Normandy and D-Day is passed down by word of mouth and the stories that those who were there told their children and grandchildren. Oliver knows these stories and so much more. Oliver's english is better than some Americans. Oliver was able to connect with each of us on our tour, gave us time to walk around and experience various sites and museums as well as left us with memories we will carry with us forever.

I can't imagine a better Normandy tour experience than with Olivier from Normandy 44. Olivier is…read moreobviously passionate about WWII, and about the role of the Allies in liberating France and defeating the Nazis. (Olivier's own father fought with the Free French against the Nazis.) He is extremely knowledgeable about the events of D-Day, and the broader military and political setting in which it took place. He can point out the minute details and exact location of some pretty extraordinary events of June 6, 1944. And he does it all with a great sensitivity and good humor that make it pleasant to spend a day focusing on some inherently dark events of the lives of those involved. My family and I (including three kids) came away enlightened, uplifted, and inspired. Two other points worth making: (1) Oliver's idiomatic American English is excellent. He lived and worked in the U.S. for several years, and he worked for U.S. companies before and after that. There is zero language barrier. (2) Olivier co-founded a larger tour company in Normandy a number of year ago before launching his current tour company, working for himself. He is greeted warmly by the other guides you'll see along the route, many of whom he trained.

Our guide was Louis Boubat, a history major in university, who'd spent a semester abroad in the U.S. Louis was extraordinarily knowledgeable, humorous, and solicitous throughout.

The tour of Petit Be was actually loads better than the tour of Fort National…read more There's more to learn here, more to look at and learn, it's more interesting and it's cheaper. I don't know if I got lucky but the tour guide was really beautiful *and* knew her stuff, so she was able to answer even the most obscure questions the geek on the tour (there's always one and it wasn't me this time) could throw at her. It's also harder to get here so you feel more rewarded having made it for the tour, since it's only accessible when the tide is really low.

Un oppidum et un bâtiment pour l'état-major ont été mis au jour. Après le départ des Romains, les Bretons et les moines y débarquèrent. L'arrivée de Malo entraîne la construction d'un monastère et de l'évêché d'Aleth. Vikings, Francs, Sarrasins, Normands et autres Ostrogoths s'y succèdèrent. Au XIIe siècle, la montée des eaux fit de Saint-Malo une île plus facile à défendre, on y transféra donc l'évêché, ce qui entraîna la déclin de la cité d'Aleth. Le fort que l'on peut voir aujourd'hui n'a été construit qu'en 1759 après l'occupation par les Anglais, il fait partie d'un camping qui offre la plus belle vue sur la baie et la promenade qui le ceinture permet à tous d'en profiter.
