5.00Good evening, everyone. This is our stay in Mexico 🇲🇽 ends tomorrow and we especially wanted to thank Martin without whom we would NEVER have known our little Marion who made us discover Aqua wonder and the cultural tour with Dia de los Muertos. Thank you very much for your professionalism at all. Thanks again to Marion for accompanying us to discover the REAL side of Playa del Carmen. We're going back to France, not saying goodbye to Mexico, but soon. We will definitely be back 🙏😘 Pascal, Isabelle, Benjamin, Mathilde, Mathis, Emilie and Kenzi
