Entertaining walk through St.Germain with RT !! - We had a lovely walk through St.Germain with RT. We experienced a perspective from a local who brought great amusement and local knowledge to our tour. From a brief history, to an architectural and also a gastronomic view point, we saw St.Germain through a different lens. RT also kindly made reservations, became our personal photographer, concierge and entertainer. The tour was extended to include many more sights that just couldn’t be missed. RT was the consummate guide. Merci pour tout!
