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!
Tim is a passionate and intelligent guide, who not only knows history through personal acquaintances but also through the research. His tour included pictures that complemented the story. It was a great tour and I can only recommend Tim as a guide
I strongly recommend this tour and Timo as a guide. He did an excellent job telling us about the history of resistance in Dijon. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, illustrating the facts with lots of annecdotes and fotos. Thanks a lot!
This tour focuses on the history of the Resistance in Dijon. Tim is an enthusiastic guide who tells great stories and made the history come alive for us. It was an interesting way to see Dijon.
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.
