Great activity. The actress made us laugh a lot while teaching us lots of things. The only downside was that the directions to the meeting place weren't clear. The carrousel square is very large. It should be made clear that the meeting place is under the arch, as this was not specified. This would have prevented us from being late.

There were six of us from Normandy (aged 12 to 58) on this day with Margaux, and we all learned plenty of historical facts that make you want to revise French history. The lecturer was cheerful and funny. We highly recommend this service and will be back.
