We had the pleasure of taking a private tour of Nancy during an afternoon with Marine. The visit mixing the themes Nancy history and Art Nouveau won us over and we had a great time. Marine has offered us a route allowing us to discover Nancy through its history over the centuries, and punctuated by many anecdotes. A big thank you to Marine. I highly recommend La Madeleine to (re)discover Nancy!

Congratulations to Marine for these two visits, gourmet market and historic center. too bad that the mirabelle plums are not part of the tasting and the black pudding is not appreciated...But this visit is very interesting Marine is a well of science and very pleasant. We learned lots of things and discovered Nancy from another angle. We will make other visits with La Madeleine.

A real discovery between colleagues from all over France. Marine put together a guided tour for us in the heart of the city with tasting of Lorraine specialties for our greatest pleasure! She knew how to captivate us with the story of Saint Nicholas and thus tell us beautiful anecdotes. The whole group was under the spell of Nancy and Marine of course! We highly recommend these services.
Excellent visit

Marine is a top guide, she introduced us to Nancy. She knows how to adapt to her audience and takes the time to answer questions and adapt her vocabulary to participants. 2 visits made in the weekend. We'll come back for her and for the city. Thank you again.

Our association welcomed a family from Chartres for a balloon flight. We wanted to introduce him to the historic heart with the special way that Marine offers in his visits. We had 2 people in a chair and again Marine knew how to adapt the visit. Everyone from 12 years old to 64 years old has been thrilled by this beautiful walk, historical, culinary and very pleasant. We will welcome other aeronauts from afar and we will repeat this moment. Thank you.
