    We recommend this place 1000%. The visit was most interesting with a very friendly and passionate guide. He gives his knowledge as well as his person while transporting us beyond time. The immersive side of the visit is all the more pleasant. It was a superb discovery. You can go there with your eyes closed, it's perfect for children and adults alike!
