I'm passionate about telling the stories of the French resistance in WW2. Dijon was an important regional administrative capital for the German occupation and some of the citizens of Dijon were among the very first people to engage in the 'French resistance', nationally.
There's drama (and tragedy) on every street! Every event and character we talk about has been carefully researched and the history of occupation , resistance and liberation will unfold through the stops on our walking tour through the beautiful city of Dijon. From the 'debacle' of the catastrophic defeat in 1940 , to the pioneers and development of resistance and eventually on to liberation after 4 long years under German occupation.
Veterans always insist that these stories must be passed on!
We had a very interesting and engaging experience on this tour in Dijon. The introductory overview was especially helpful for those of us who weren’t fully familiar with the different stages of the war and the development of the French Resistance. The personal stories were the most moving part. Timo shared them with great care and empathy, which made them truly impactful and memorable. This is a very detailed and specialized tour, and we really appreciated Timo’s generosity and depth of knowledge. Highly recommended!
If interested in the french resistance efforts in Dijon, Timo is your guide. Interesting, detailed but far from boring. I highly recommend him.
Very knowledgeable guide - exceptionally interesting.
Tim gave an extremely informative and, at times, moving account of wartime Dijon and the French resistance. The tour was relaxed, the pace was easy and I found it to be very interesting.
Timo is passionate about the history of the french resistance. He imparts his knowledge in a captivating way and explains the history well. Easy to listen to and incredibly knowledgeable
