Thank you, Anita, for this wonderful discovery of Versailles that you allowed us to make this afternoon. We both appreciated your kindness, your availability and your erudition; We may not have memorized everything, but the visit to the Palm Game Room, the merchant squares, passages in which you have guided us so well, will remain a beautiful memory; Versailles has won us both thanks to you! Francine and Janine

The Team of Greeters of Versailles The experience with greeters was very pleasant. The walk with Mr. Patrick Marbach was very interesting. Mr. Patrick made me delve into the history of Versailles, the Castles, the system of refrigeration and many details. I’ve known the trompe l’oeil that are scattered in the city. Mr. Patrick was very kind during the walk, he spoke French slowly and I was able to understand everything. Thank you for this opportunity Very cordially
Sept 2018 Balade Très agréable, Greeters charmant, atelier d’art très intéressant, belle organisation de journée à île St Germain. Cordialement.
Our walk with Patrick was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and flexible. We not only learned a lot but we had a lovely engaging walk. We did our walk after visiting the palace on our own. This worked out great as the walk was very complimentary to what we had learned at the palace. Our only wish was that we were not so tired and could have gone on longer (which Patrick was willing to accomodate). Without a doubt if we returned we would ask to do a stroll with him again. This is a wonderful service you provide. Thank you, The Helm Family

BETWEEN EARTH AND SEA
From the top of the Aber Ildut to the small port of Mazou, Maryvonne will accompany you for a small eclectic hike. Between the rocky coast of the Iroise Sea, with a view of the Molène archipelago, and ribinoù (small bocage paths in Breton), discover two very different facets and yet so close to our territory. Blue and green mix together to form a single word in Breton: glaz.
