Baby Danielle would not have been born if American soldiers had not taken her mother in a jeep to the hospital in Carentan (remember "Band of Brothers ?) close to Utah Beach)

Suzanne, a cousin was killed by shrapnel between her father & mother…

Because of the stories she heard from her parents of the D-Day 1944 period, Danielle always felt some kind of gratitude for America and this is why she first went there in 1967 and again in 1968 to marry a Texan…she lived in Texas & California for about 16 years then decided to " go back to her roots" in 1983.

Highlights of Danielle's 26 years of varied experience in the travel industry include service as the Director of the Caen & Falaise Tourist Offices, Travel agent in Houston & San Diego, area Sales Manager for Meridien hotels based in Los Angeles.

In addition to her native French, Danielle is fluent in English and also speaks German and Spanish as a result of her residence in those two countries. She has traveled extensively throughout the world and now looks forward to introducing the treasures of Normandy to you !

She now works as an independent contractor and today lives in the small town of Isigny-sur-Mer, right in the center of the D-Day Beaches American sector.
