“Our guide was fabulous — enthusiastic about the chocolates, breads, and other goodies we tasted, but equally enthusiastic and descriptive of the rich history of Paris and the Marais District. When I (80) got droopy about half way through, she graciously suggested a break for water, coffee or cola. When one of the destinations was closed unexpectedly, she easily and cheerfully regrouped. When it started sprinkling she entertained us with more tales while we waited and then shepherded us on our way. I wish I could remember her name - she accounts for all of the stars, along, of course, with the great goodies.”
