Camille Mercier

Common for a true Parisian, Camille spent her summers in Normandy, in the heart of the Battle of Normandy Sector in Ouistreham. Her family survived the Nazi Occupation, the D-Day Invasion and the reconstruction period of Normandy. Throughout her summers, her grandparents shared their stories of this dark period.
He had met more veterans of WWII than most guides in Normandy and has dedicated his entire life to the mission of sharing the first-hand accounts with the future generations. As a child, her grandparents would spend hours telling her stories of their experience during World War II. After studying English in Paris for three years, she spend nine months in Germany, where she was also able to witness the atrocities of the war from a different point of view. Then, she obtained her Master’s degree in Avignon, the capital of Provence. This where she realized how much she loved to transmit her passion for the region she lived in, although only for family and friends at this point.
Newly arrived at Bayeux Shuttle, she has decided to become a guide to share memorable moments with visitors while passing on stories comparable to her grandparents’ ones. Explaining the details of the Normandy Landing allows her to keep History alive to honor those who fought on the same sand as she freely played on, 60 years later.
