Very warm welcome. We were lucky enough to enjoy a private guided tour of the chalk pits and champagne cellars. The place is grandiose, magnificent and perfectly rehabilitated while respecting the history of the place. Our guide was interesting and friendly. We had a great time. My other half will remember this surprising and original visit to the Balincourt cellars for her birthday.
