Very surprising immersive experience of wine culture around the world and in France. The tour is carefully designed with a brilliant way to use storytelling at its highest and purest form. Follow your own path to discover or rediscover this intricate culture that is all about wine. A real pleasure to have been there. A true immersive experience that doesn't feel pushed. We were there on a Friday, just before noon. We asked for bracelets to go eat something in the Halles, across the street, and came back to finish the self-guided tour. A really cool experience that I would recommend to anyone passing by this beautiful city.
