12 HOURS BEFORE DEPARTURE WE WERE INFORMED THAT NONHACIN THE TOUR DUE TO LACK OF REGISTRANTS. Total disrespect as we had everything planned for that day. Conclusion that day was lost, because on Mondays museums close and we already knew Paris. Then we saw in the Tripadvaisor review that the same thing happened to others
One of the best experiences we have had!

One of the best experiences we have had! Eduardo, our guide, is very pleasant, attentive and gives very good explanations throughout the tour. He is very gentle and very kind. We highly recommend wearing warm clothes in the mornings. At times the cold and wind can take you by surprise.
Very beautiful castle
