Malouin by origin, following a long career as an officer in the armed forces, I wish to share my passion for my town and enjoy helping you discover the stories of the various battles of Saint-Malo, the fortifications, the defence of Saint-Malo and the Atlantic Wall.
“We had an excellent walk along the fortress. Eric showed us some interesting points and explained a lot to us. In French, English and German, we were able to communicate with him quite easily. We really enjoyed the appointment and are very pleased that it went so smoothly.”

“We loved our walk with Eric. He knows the city very well and passes on the information with passion. The anecdotes about the Second World War are interesting. Eric highlights all the links between Canada and St-Malo.”

“1st experience with the Saint-Malo Greeters and an excellent one. Everything was perfect, the weather was just right, and we had the chance to discover the beauty of a site steeped in history with our Greeter Eric, who set aside a whole afternoon for us to share his historical knowledge (from the big story to the little stories), all in good humour and a friendly atmosphere. Thank you to him for giving up his time so freely, and for his ability to communicate and adapt to his audience. He even made us want to know even more about the history of the site! Thank you”

“Can I take a moment to send our sincere thanks and appreciation for your time, attention and for sharing your vast knowledge about St Malo and local history. All three of us have been retelling the stories you described to us to our friends and family and we are so much more informed about life inside and outside the walls of the city. The tour around the WW2 fortifications will remain with me particularly. We wish you well for the future and have a lovely 2023.”

“Thank you again for this experience, which we absolutely loved. Éric is a character, generous and very open to discussion. The visit was very interesting (perhaps a little long for children, but very good for adults) and the personal anecdotes were a plus. We really enjoyed getting to know Éric and found this first experience to be a very rich human interlude. We left Saint-Malo with lots of great memories.”

“I’m giving you feedback on the visit with greeter Eric to the city of Aleth. This commented tour was very interesting, your greeter is a passionate person who has lots of fascinating anecdotes. We were delighted. The tour lasted almost 4 hours, and if we hadn’t had a time constraint at the marine baths, I think we could have listened to it for a long time, as we enjoyed it so much. Thank you to you for the organisation and to him for his time.”

“I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed our trip! We visited the town of Alet with Eric and it was fascinating! He’s so involved, he wants to share everything he knows with us … That’s rare, and that’s what made the visit so interesting and personal. He had some documents with him and his tablet, which gave us a good idea of what was going on. It was a really great experience … and the weather was wonderful too!”

Thank you again for this emotionally rich experience. I highly recommend this guide for whom Saint Malo has no secrets!!”
Anne C. November 2022
“We had a lovely afternoon thanks to the weather, but above all to Eric’s performance. He won us over with his knowledge, his desire to make us love Saint-Malo, its history, its islands and ramparts, and above all the city of Aleth. A big thank you to him for his approach, his enthusiasm, his knowledge and his love of the sea and his region. In his person, you have an “unrivalled” greeter ….. To be enjoyed without moderation!”
Jean-Pierre L. April 2022
“Very satisfied. Eric shared with us his vast knowledge and love of the architectural, military, and maritime heritage of the Saint-Malo region. Particularly Saint-Servan. We didn’t see the time go by: we started at 9am and said our goodbyes over a drink around 1pm. Very nice!”
Laurence B. August 2021
“We are very satisfied with this fascinating walk with a Saint-Malo enthusiast! Excellent!”
