The trip was really interesting and we reached objectives that could not be done otherways. Our grup guide (Leyla) was very knowledgeable, pacient and empathetic. I appreciated her a lot and I would like to thank her. The bus driver Jamel was also very helpful. The hotels for the two nights were good and the dinner provided was also nice. The program includes many stairs and stepa, those with mobility impairments should be aware. But the tempo was correct and it allowed us to see all these beautiful objectives. Mont St Michel is excepțional. Omaha Beach very impressive, St Malo also interesting and picturesque. A good program, a little expensive but totally worth the money.

Transport serves the city well, is plentiful and on time. The Naolib app also makes it easy to get from one point to another in the city. The pass allows you to take all forms of transport without any constraints and to access museums without worrying.

Great to rediscover the Jardin des Plantes from another angle. For our part, no battery problems but we were all with Android smartphones :-) We particularly liked the interactions with the smartphones. A great activity!

a real castle with towers and ramparts to walk around the tapestries of the apocalypse to see absolutely!

Beautiful discovery of the Loire, a change of scenery.
