This particular tour was...

This particular tour was focused on French royal lineage. We are familiar with that and were hoping for more history of the building, the grounds and how it has evolved through time. The guide was very knowledgeable, we were expecting something different.

Dear Maud, congratulations and thank you!

Great experience but a lot of wasted time handing back the tickets, headphones, etc. Our guide Maud is exceptional. She showed a lot of empathy and generosity regarding my condition. She is cheerful, has a sense of humor, and knows her subject thoroughly.
