Exciting! - Corentin, the guide-speaker, embodies his IM persona perfectly and plunges us -with forceful photos and documents- into this turbulent period. A host of anecdotes, detailed explanations, humor too, and an infectious passion! (This visit so excited us that we followed him in the afternoon to Mont St Michel where he played this time a 15th century man at arms!)

Unusual guided tour of Saint-Malo immersed in 1944 to recommend... - We had a very nice time with our family and a great experience. The guided tour of Saint-Malo in immersion is to be done for fans of history and especially the city. The guide in period dress is very pleasant and not lacking in anecdotes. In addition, being in a group of 15 people contributes to friendly exchanges. We plan to repeat the experience at another site in the near future.

Saint Malo in good hands! - A generous, exciting and passionate guide, fully aware of his subject. Even the children of the group loved it, with the personalized animation of the guide. Much has been learned, put into perspective with the evolution of the world today. Strongly recommended, especially since the price is far from prohibitive
