Great visit! - Activities offered during our seminar, we were able to discover the beautiful city of Toulouse with Mme de Cambon; it was a very informative and very nice visit! A nice discovery about this type of visit which is an excellent approach for children (and adults) rather than "classic" visits.

Rich idea this foray into 19th century Toulouse - Very interesting and informative visit. Mrs. Rose was perfect in her 1889 character! The explanations were very clear. And Mrs Rose has a lot of humor!!

AMAZING - We enjoy discovering history through small history. Mme. de Cambon is a very endearing character thanks to the interpretation of our Guide and her touch of humor. The concept of the tour is very rich and invites us to learn more. PS: Our Guide told us that she was not an actor and yet she really has all the qualities.

An enriching immersive visit - An original visit to the Saint-Etienne district of Toulouse that we know too little about. The tour guide perfectly manages the balance between immersion in the 18th century and transmission of historical data about the city. I fully recommend!
