The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
J'aurais préféré un casque avec les explications, les anecdotes, l'historique des lieux...
Ceci étant, nous avions apprécié et étions en admiration.
Vitrines et vidéos explicatives.
Les textes ne sont pas toujours lisibles (petits caractères et ambiance sombre).
Et surtout la possibilité de voir le savoir faire impressionnant du personnel depuis un balcon donnant sur l'atelier.
Boutique en sortie mais il manque peut être un petit lieu de restauration.
