5.00Very informative and funny visit in time. Strolling through the city, you will discover the architecture of the Age of Enlightenment, as well as the history of the explorer Jean François de Galaup, known as Lapérouse. The personality of the remarkable explorer, and the mystery around his disappearance only partially solved 400 years later. Very good time, with the exclusive discovery of a private course.
Beautiful discovery of the browser Lapérouse

5.00We were transported by the story beautifully told by Madame Eléonore de Lapérouse to a time that has been better understood. The visit offered us the chance to have many details that we would not have had the opportunity to discover during a simple walk. The lecturer, aided by her beautiful costume, has brought to our present the elegance and scientific spirit filled with curiosity for the discovery of new worlds of the Enlightenment in joy and good humor. Many thanks to the organizers and we look forward to more visits!
Great visit

5.00Very nice discovery of Albi guided by Mme Lapérouse. From the introductions, we get in the mood. Between costume, speaking, anecdotes, postures, we find ourselves immersed in the Age of Enlightenment. We loved this visit which was punctuated between the stories of Mme Lapérouse, her husband, their meeting and history. It spices up and keeps us captivated. The city is very beautiful and it was a very good idea to introduce us to Lapérouse history to see it from a different angle. A big bravo to our Guide for his costume, enthusiasm, theatricality, expressions and smile. This makes us want to test more Epoktour visits! Great concept to energize traditional tours and give some context and life behind the events of the story.
Great visit
