About me : My name is Sabine, born and raised
at Potyse. A hamlet near Ieper. A real Flemisch Lady, who speaks Dutch, French, English and German. I could be your key to area's not usualy open to the public. Exploring the battlefield area around Ieper is something I have been doing for years.
I am fluent in English and have a vast knowledge of the area and can offer advice on where to stay, visiting the Last Post Ceremony & advice on where to dine etc
I grew up amongst CWGC cemeteries Collecting postcards war related is one of the other passions I have.
My beloved grandfather Gaston Frederic Bourdeaux
The man who took me along as a little girl
I spend hours walking on fields listening to his stories He is the one who gave me the passion for ww1
Granddad teached me I had to look for answers
