Passionate about the history of Normandy
My name is Bertrand Couillard. I was born and have always lived in Normandy. Since childhood, I have been interested in the history of my region, particularly the Allied landings and the battles that followed during the summer 1944. These events are all the more significant for me as Normandy still retains the visible traces of this past.
A career made of encounters
After studying logistics and international business, I have worked for 20 years in industry. During these years, I had the chance to meet people from different cultures with whom I could share my knowledge about D-Day. I had the opportunity to guide some of them on the sites of the landing beaches and these experiences confirmed my desire to devote myself fully to it by creating D-Day In One Day.
Steeped in history places to discover
I like to make visitors discover these stepped in history places and sites so that they can better understand these events. I think knowing the past helps to better understand the present. At a time when the last witnesses of these tragic period are gradually disappearing, i also hope to humbly contribute to the transmission of memory, so as not to forget what happened almost 80 years ago now.
