She was really kind, funny, super knowledgeable about the food and best cultural facts about the area. The desserts were the best part, but I felt like there was still a little to be desired in terms of stops, I would’ve loved to enjoyed a crepe or partake in more of the shops before the climb. That said, to finish in a solid brasserie right next to such an iconic view and landmark, made the hike worth it. Julie did…”
