Not satisfied this time because it was a free-for-all ... too many people and incivism ... the activities should be better supervised.

A warm welcome, but the workshops on offer are few and far between and a little disappointing.

As always, lots of lovely activities, just a shame applesauce wasn't an activity to do, just a tasting, and there weren't enough tables for tasting.

The 3 children, aged 3, 7 and 8, took part in all the activities and tastings. Very nice, fun and interesting. Thanks to Guillaume and everyone else for this great apple festival. We really enjoyed it.
