Sympathie du guide, histoires intéressantes, les visiteurs ont un temps d'adaptation mais une fois rentrés, ils se prennent au jeu. Parcours et fil conducteur original. Passage par l'arbalète très sympa..

Super visite avec un guide impliqué et très intéressant. On apprend beaucoup de la vie à l'époque à travers la vision du chevalier incarné par le guide.

Alban a été très adapté à notre époque! Malgré son étonnement pour certaines de nos us et coutume il a su nous expliquer son temps, l’Histoire et la Cité avec bonne humeur. Visite très intéressante. Beaucoup d’infos données de façon ludique. Notre ado de 13 ans a beaucoup aimé et nous aussi!!! Bravo

FleurMenival

Très belle visite avec Alban. Avec de l'humour et de la pédagogie, il a réussi à nous instruire quant aux défenses et à l'histoire du château. Le temps est passé très vite! Même si la pluie s'est invitée et que la Basilique était fermée... Très belle idée de visite que nous avions déjà testée et fortement appréciée à Dinan. Il ne faut pas hésiter à proposer ce genre de visite en immersion sur les autres sites historiques.

Très chouette, Alban est très doué pour nous immerger dans son univers et dans son époque, avec un ton très fun. Pas de regret!!!!! Notez que le rdv à lieu au pied de la statue de dame Carcas à l'extérieur de devant la porte de Narbonne.

Bien le guide était très intéressant. Il se plaignait régulièrement que l on ne participait pas assez mais il n était pas toujours pédagogue à nos questions.

Visite originale qui change. Initiation au tire à l'arbalète pour les enfants ce qui rends la visite immersive.

Visite avec un guide insolite très instructif qui nous plonge dans la vie de la citadelle au 13ème siècle. C'est TOP et très original. Mes enfants et mon mari avons passé un très bon moment.
