This tour was wonderful. It was great to have a small group and Agethe made it both interesting, enjoyable and a touch of the “real” France. Loved the two castles and lunch at the private castle was delicious. Thank you to Agethe. Highly recommend this tour.

Had to find alternative ways of getting to Paris from London due to a BA pilot strike and settled on the Eurostar. Glad we did because after 14 hours flying it was a welcome break. Bought business class travel and it was very much like an airline in terms of food drink but scenery was much better and much more room to move / no seatbelts was a dream.
