“Le musée fait découvrir pas mal d illusions mais soyons honnête s il n y a pas foule la visite dure 30 minutes max! La foule ce fut la problématique majeure pendant cette visite. Le gens vous poussent, vous passent devant sans cesse… personne n était là pour gérer le flux de personnes qui nous a mené vers la sortie avant d avoir accès à un dernier atelier monopolisé par des personnes qui y sont restés au moins 20 minutes… 64 euros à 4 c est plus cher que Disney a la minute !”

“Very good and had a great time. Not too long but tasted many great wines. In my opinion it was more of a tour with wine instead of a wine tour, which is still great, just a little different. The first stop is more of scenic view with wine, the second is to a small town within the region and the third is at a winery where you can drink wine and discuss the vineyards with the owner, very cool. Delicious wine and would recommend! The tour lasted from 9am-1pm so there is still a considerable portion of the day left to do other things, and I was not overly…”
