Perfect trip

Published on Dec, 2024

This trip was absolutely perfect! The ladies I was in contact with over the few months of planning had helped at every chance they could get, they also organised a secret photographer for me so I didn't need the unnecessary stress of finding one in France to photograph my proposal. I used this trip to propose to my partner and they did everything they could to make it an easy day for myself. The tour guides were both very knowledgeable and took their time to answer our inquisitive questions regarding Champagne.
