An original visit to a neighborhood rich in stories.

A charming visit to the Saint Etienne neighborhood with historical anecdotes and access to period buildings. The tour guide was able to adapt to our group, which included children. I will most likely do the other proposed tours.

A beautiful discovery and a guide at the top!

It is as much a visit as an animation, the guide in costume and period character made us immerse ourselves in the time. High quality Mrs Cambon guide service
