Brittany Heritage Services was founded in January 2009 to provide a range of services for improving information about Brittany for Anglophones.

As a professional guide I lead walks, tours and visits to towns and sites of historical interest all over Brittany. Groups contact me through tourist offices or the Brittany Walks website. In 2010 I began to escort North American and English groups from cruise-ships docking at Brest and Lorient.

As a teacher I provide Study Days for British residents of Brittany to learn about a range of topics from Megaliths and Breton Saints to Medieval history and issues in modern Brittany. I also run a course for French tourist guides ‘Comment presenter le patrimoine breton à un public Anglophone’.
