Normandy Travel Agent Expert

I love history. That is why I enjoy working as a travel agent specialist for Normandy. Normandy sits in northern France and features beacheads from the Second World War - one of which is the famous Omaha Beach, the site of the allied D-Day landings. A Gothic abbey overlooks the cliff-strewn island of Mont-Saint-MIchel and the nearby city of Rouen, which is home to the Notre Dame Cathedral, is the site of Joan of Arc's execution in 1431. Normandy brings several historic images to mind - the D-Day landings, William the Conqueror, and the aforementioned Mont-Saint-Michel. However, the palace is so much more than that. It also features abbeys, famed gardens, the orchards at Auge, and picture-postcard scenery. Monet's home at Giverny and camembert cheese are also part of this interesting region in France. One of the historic displays you must see, if you love history, is the Bayeux Tapestry, which is a historical document and amazing piece of art. The tapestry describes the 1066 Norman Conquest of England. Stitches in eight vibrant shades of yellow, blue, and red wool and the narrated scenes--58 in total--were embroidered 11 years after the Conquest took place. The tapestry is designed on 230 feet of linen cloth and the artistic narrative was done at the behest, it is believed, of Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, the half-brother of William the Conqueror. The tapestry is now exhibited at Normandy's Museum of Tapestry or the Musee de la Tapisserie de Bayeux in Bayeux, Normandy. While it is called a tapestry, the artwork follows the broader definition of an embroidery. If you plan to visit Normandy, I can, as your travel agent, provide you with some of the region's history. It will make your trip just that much more interesting, as Normandy does indeed have some fascinating historical sites. For instance the Cathedrale Notre-Dame was consecrated in William the Conqueror's presence in 1077. Also, the Musée Mémorial de la Bataille de Normandie Bayeux is an excellent beginning point for visits to the D-Day shores. The Battle of Normandy is told in time-organized detail in the museum. Would you like to plan a trip to Normandy? If so, I would like to serve as your go-to travel agent advisor. Why don't you call me or email me today? I would love to hear from you and start planning a journey that will uplift and inspire you.

Affordable Paris trip
My husband and I renewed our wedding vows and hired Jamie to plan a trip for us to Paris. We were on some what of a budget and thought there was no way to afford it. Jamie was able to find us a great deal on a red eye flight out of JFK and a wonderful boutique hotel near Montmartre. Breakfast was included so we saved money on our meals. She arranged a private tour with a local guide she has worked with many times who spoke perfect English. It was like having a friend take us around the city. We loved every second. Thank you.

Most friendly and competent travel agent
If you are looking for the most friendly and competent travel agent, look no further. I usually do all of my own travel arrangements, but the flights were complicated and I was nervous about what I needed to do for Covid. Jamie put my mind at ease and came up with my complete travel plans within 2 days. Any time I had a question, my emails and phone calls were returned within an hour. Jamie listened to my needs and my budget and hit a home run. I LOVE working with her! I'm planning my next trip in the Spring and she has already started working on it. Thank you Jamie for all your hard work! I hope to meet you in person one day.

Jamie is the Best of the BEST!
We were a group of 4 (2 couples) going to Greece for the first time. This was the 3rd time we had tried to book because of Covid. Using a travel agent was a must this time because of the amount of work we put into it only to have it canceled/postponed was exhausting. Jamie started from scratch and booked everything for us including trip insurance. She was always available to do our Zoom calls since we all were in different cities. 3rd time was most definitely the charm because the trip was magically perfect in every way. Working with Jamie was like working with a close friend. I wish I could give her 10 out of 5 stars because she is that awesome!!! We have already referred friends and family to her and we hope she stays in business a long time. We highly recommend Jamie to plan your travels.

Trip of a life time thanks to Jamie
Rarely do I write reviews but Jamie deserves kudos in every way. I'm writing this as my wife and I are waiting to catch our plane back to the states. After battling with a life threatening illness and coming away with a positive prognosis, my wife called Jamie to plan our special celebration of life trip to Italy. After 2 conversations with Jamie, my wife asked me to join the conversations because she knew how much I would enjoy Jamie's enigmatic energy. Since Jamie has traveled to Italy many times, we knew we were working with the right person. Jamie booked us in a beautiful and historic apartment in the center of Rome. Angelina brought us a home cooked breakfast every morning. Our itinerary was perfect. We loved her restaurant suggestions and all the sightseeing ideas. I do look forward to getting home, but thanks to Jamie, this has been a trip of a life time. My wife and I could not have done this alone.

Our Vacation was a HUGE Success!
Jamie, our vacation was a huge success! Everything went as planned. Having that app "Trip Plans" was fabulous. We referred to that SO many times for details, using both the schedule by day and the pdf of the Final Itinerary. Both had different info that we needed to see.... I think you did a great job of summarizing the itinerary & communicating with us throughout the trip, i.e., when flights were canceled and had to be rebooked. Extremely impressed with your support, it was truly appreciated. We had a wonderful time and so many memories were made. You did an AMAZING job; we have already told people about you and the help you provided. We will definitely work together again in the near future!
