This visit way just right. Lovely building, funny and well informed tour guide. We highly recommend it. If we did it again, I would either plan for lunch before or after the tour at the site or dinner after a late afternoon glass!!

Interesting Cave Tour

Beautiful historic building, grounds & cave tour. Would prefer one 3 oz tasting rather than a smidgeon of each. ;-}.

Nice experience

Owing to the historical location of Les Cordeliers the tour was reasonably interesting. I would suggest a far greater effort could be made visually underground. The process could be enhanced with visual posters, cleaned machinery, mock ups of the manufacture process, more historical information given etc. The tour could be enlivened and enhanced quite easily to make it 5*.

We had a fantastic tour of the cellars. Artur (i hope i spell the name correctly) was very informative, engaging and was more than willing to answer any questions we had. Definitely recommend this tour and a stop with some cremant in the gardens
