Mrs. Laperousse

A very pleasant, informative and funny visit

Very informative and funny visit in time. Strolling through the city, you will discover the architecture of the Age of Enlightenment, as well as the history of the explorer Jean François de Galaup, known as Lapérouse. The personality of the remarkable explorer, and the mystery around his disappearance only partially solved 400 years later. Very good time, with the exclusive discovery of a private course.

A rewarding experience

We were transported by the story beautifully told by Madame Eléonore de Lapérouse to a time that has been better understood. The visit offered us the chance to have many details that we would not have had the opportunity to discover during a simple walk. The lecturer, aided by her beautiful costume, has brought to our present the elegance and scientific spirit filled with curiosity for the discovery of new worlds of the Enlightenment in joy and good humor. Many thanks to the organizers and we look forward to more visits!
