    Very nice discovery of Albi guided by Mme Lapérouse. From the introductions, we get in the mood. Between costume, speaking, anecdotes, postures, we find ourselves immersed in the Age of Enlightenment. We loved this visit which was punctuated between the stories of Mme Lapérouse, her husband, their meeting and history. It spices up and keeps us captivated. The city is very beautiful and it was a very good idea to introduce us to Lapérouse history to see it from a different angle. A big bravo to our Guide for his costume, enthusiasm, theatricality, expressions and smile. This makes us want to test more Epoktour visits! Great concept to energize traditional tours and give some context and life behind the events of the story.

    The Speaker Guide was just perfect!! We had already visited the streets of Albi last year with a Guide but this form of visit using the common thread of Captain Lape(y)rouse with his wife as Guide is an excellent idea especially since the Speaker Guide mastered form and substance! This will be one of the highlights of our summer visits We hope that back in Lyon we will find this type of visit to share it with our friends visiting us.
