We had booked a tour in French with Joseph our guide throughout the visit. With his talents as a storyteller and all his knowledge Joseph took us with him into the story of this family that owns the place. Joseph will tell you the history of this family over several generations and will reveal all or almost all of their secrets. A visit that you do not see pass because you are captivated by this story. An original approach, here we won't talk to you about the dates of the dishes. Go there without hesitation

Extremely enriching experience! We were very well received. A tour is included in the price of the ticket, all in French! (With Joseph as guide). It was beautiful, it was historic. We spent almost an hour and a half with our guide and I would do it again with great pleasure!

A very interesting tour and well explained by Jay. He explained the entire history of the plantation and the historical moment to us very well. I recommend both the tour and the guide; It is very important to know such sad moments in history
