I was born in Paris and lived there for most of my life until I moved to Bordeaux for a new job to work for a wine company. During my time here, I completely fell in love with Bordeaux, as well as Strasbourg and Reims, and truly discovered what we call in French art de vivre (the art of living).

So it's a very good idea to compile history and high technology in one go without spending a

A nice visit accompanied by an extraordinary guide, which was in our opinion a complete guide with full explanations and answers to our questions. A must see as said. Thank you Cyprien for this wonderful and rewarding day.

While we were in Bordeaux, we did two tours, one for the Médoc region , the other for Saint-Emilion. Our guides were Claire and Cyprien. Both were very knowledgeable and professional. I recommend this company to anyone interested in Bordeaux wine.
