Great visit of the Toulouse neighborhood of Saint Étienne with very interesting and funny guide, in period costume. - Very good time with the family accompanied by Lucile aka Dorothée Étiennette de Cambon from Bonrepos Riquet to discover the Saint Étienne district of Toulouse at the time of the Enlightenment. Lucile was funny, passionate and exciting. From grandparents to children, everyone loved.
