The tour guide was very partial to the french speakers on the tour and did not translate many group discussions into English. 2011-09-02 Chris , It was supposed to br a wine tour - not a boring, ridiculously long (due to only one bi-lingual guide) tour of some old guy's chateau. 2011-08-10 Cindy B ,
