Si les anneciens n'ont toujours fait que passer devant cet édifice, ils lui restent très attachés, le désignant comme le centre de la vie politique et sociale de la ville. Outre les services techniques, le cabinet du maire, les services sociaux, l'Hôtel de Ville abrite une salle de réception qui voit régulièrement défiler tous les cocktails mondains, inaugurations ou clôtures de festivals et cérémonie culturelles en tous genres. Au centre de l'établissement, la ville a fait construire une grande verrière, la cour intérieure étant maintenant protégée. On peut y voir une grande maquette de la ville, ainsi qu'un mémorial commémoratif des combattants de la résistance et des victimes Anneciennes de la seconde guerre mondiale. Le bâtiment constitue un passage vers les très agréables Jardins de l'Europe qui lui sont contigus.

I was only in Geneva for a few days, so last-minute went to CityWheels on Saturday morning to see…read moreif I could join a tour of Old Town. After I found them (go to the top floor of the Les Cygnes mall and follow the path), Reto was there and said he didn't have availability that morning, but told me to come back at 5 and he'd take me out on a tour. I returned at 5 and discovered he was going to take me out alone at no extra charge--great personalized customer service! And because there was a music festival occurring that made travel through Old Town difficult due to crowds, he fashioned his own tour of the lake and gardens. He was a fountain of knowledge about Geneva's history, politics, geography--anything I could throw at him he could answer. He also took a ton of candid photographs during the tour and emailed them to me promptly after the tour. If you've never ridden a Segway (I had), you ride sometimes on the streets, so it was a little scary at first, but Reto led with confidence, so it was fun. I highly recommend a tour with CityWheels and Reto!

Having never been to…read morethis part of France, and since were traveling with my mom, who's 83, we wanted someone who would take good care of us, give us good suggestions and pace the tours with mom in mind. Sebastien Girard, the owner/operator, did much more than that. A piece of our luggage was delayed, and Sebastien made several calls and helped get us the missing bag. He was our transfer from the airport to the hotel, took us on wonderful tours of Peyrouge, the Beaujolais and Annecy, gave us suggestions for our time alone in Lyon, and was the highlight of our time in Lyon. He was punctual, charming, funny, and solicitous of our needs. His large 7 seater van was spotlessly clean and spacious enough for us and out luggage. Sebastien speaks perfect English, and is himself well travelled not only in France, but around the world. When we go back to The Beaujolais region we will not consider using anyone else.

The first winery was a small family affair and the owner served us our wine and spoke extensively about the varieties he produces. It was intimate and educational.

We never take tours like this and we were so pleased with the entire experience. When we return to Lyon we look forward to taking another tour with Olivier! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

There is some cheese provided at the shop to pair with your tastings. Many of us bought a couple bottles. Some of these wines only sold locally not exported. They will ship your purchases for you. I recommend bringing water, take photos of the wines tasted and documents you're given as notes. I would recommend this highly.

I would say this tour is best for those with some wine knowledge as they delve deep into the history and geography of the region. The focus is on education rather than guzzling a lot of wine. We visited a private cellar that represented many producers and had an introduction to what the region makes. After that, you'll see beautiful countryside, as well as the most expensive vineyard in the world (€15K/bottle!!). Then a stop in Beaune for lunch (on your own) and on to a woman owned winery to delve deep into the difference terroir makes in wine. Our guide Paul was incredibly knowledgeable about the region and wine in general. I would probably have wished for another winery stop versus lots of driving but ultimately I learned a ton and really enjoyed it!
