    We visited the south tower of the cathedral at the end of November with Isabelle (this is our fifth tour with her). She's wonderful, passionate, and very generous with the time she dedicates to the tours. Absolutely flawless, 5 stars! 👍

    Hello. Excellent telephone reception; the person was very pleasant, answered all my questions, and gave me very good advice. The place itself was lovely, clean, and well-organized. I received another excellent welcome from the person who greeted me. Thank you for your hospitality and availability; it was truly a pleasure.
