5.00Beautiful and exciting visit! Thanks to Jo, American soldier of the 83rd Infantry Division, we discovered the history of Saint Malo during the Second World War. Young and old learn a lot of things, it seems like it, especially thanks to pictures of the period that illustrate the words. The tour passes too fast! Our guide conveys his passion for this period of history, with good humor and attention to everyone.

5.00Corentin is a passionate guide, who knows how to pass on his passion, with great humor. Personally I would have spent a lot of time following him and listening to him because we were living well in immersion. I also invite him to visit Bastogne 😊 His subject is superbly well prepared with stunning archive images
SU-PER!
