Exciting!
Sunshine12271684828, Apr 2026
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!)
Jo is a great guide, we recommend!

Unusual guided tour of Saint-Malo immersed in 1944 to recommend...
E9235NSbrunob, Mar 2026
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.
