Interesting visit, a very friendly and approachable guide. I recommend this visit which is a change from the usual visits to large houses.

We went there with my colleagues for our first CSE outing and it was very interesting. The guide is passionate, you can feel it and the explanations are clear and well received by everyone. The reception rooms have been well renovated and offer a beautiful and elegant venue. Finally, the chalk pits are magnificent, I have not seen them so big, I am delighted with this outing and this new discovery in Chalonnaise!

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.
