Questions about this tour
Is the champagne sabering part of every tour?
Only on request. If you would like a bottle opened with a saber during your tour, just tell me when you book.
Can we do it with teenagers?
Yes. Teenagers love the Napoleon stories, and the tastings adapt to younger guests.
What happens if it rains?
The tour goes on. Many moments happen indoors, at the counters of the artisans. Just bring an umbrella.
Can we combine it with another tour the same day?
Yes. Have a look at the Full Days in Paris, or tell me what you have in mind when you book.
