About Tour Guide Michel fg J.
Bilingual, after 45 years teaching languages, literature and history, during my retirement, I love to share my local area (Mont Saint Michel, the Channel Islands : Jersey, Guernsey, Sark, Alderny, Herm and Chausey) and my home town : Granville with visitors to France who wish to learn a little more but just enough in a friendly casual atmosphere. I am always open to help visitors discover the area.
One thing is sure, I try to be professionnal without looking to serious. Humour is paramount. Oh, I nearly forgot. all my visits end sharing a drink : mine is a nice cool beer. What is yours ?
$500/ per group
