Best Tour Guide in Normandy!

If Planning to Go to Mont St. Michel or the Normandy Beaches

 

Last fall my wife and I had a wonderful trip to France, staying five days in Paris then heading for the rest of our two-week stay to Picardy and Normandy. During our stay in Normandy we had the good fortune to have recommended to us an amazing travel guide. For those planning a trip to Normandy this spring or fall, her name is Gisèle Danin and she operates a tour business called Normandy Circuits. The mailing address is Normandy Circuits, B.P. 37308, 1440 Bayeux Cedex. Her e-mail address is infos@normandycircuits.com. Her phone number is 00(33) 06 63 01 12 71.

Gisèle is fluent in several languages including English and is enormously knowledgeable about both Mont St. Michel and the D-Day landing sites. She has a wonderful sense of humour and knows all the tricks about getting her van as close to the sites as possible. Originally from Brazil, she came to study at the Sorbonne where she met her French husband.

She will pick up and drive eight passengers in her van and those who shared the tours with us came from places ranging from Malta to the Channel Islands to Connecticut to Brazil. Gisèle’s rates for the Mont St. Michel tour, which operates on Thursdays and Sundays, are 60 Euros a day per person. The fee for this all-day tour does not include a small charge for entrance to the Abbey. The tour of the Normandy Beaches also costs 60 Euros a person, begins at 12:15 p.m., runs to 6 p.m. and operates on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We cannot recommend her service too highly.
