MEET YOUR GUIDE: OLIVIER
Born and raised in the heart of the Somme battlefields, I have lived with this history my entire life. My family village of Montbrehain was the site of the very last Australian infantry action of the war in October 1918. Since founding Chemins d’Histoire in 2009, I have dedicated myself to helping families from Australia, Canada, the UK, the US and more to understand what their ancestors endured. As a certified guide and local researcher, I share with you an insider’s perspective—combining historical precision with the deep respect of a local resident.
