TGV to Paris
Baudry and Huet were exceptional and both included tours of the caves and/or winery.
Also 2nd d’Epire, walking the vineyard with Paul Bizard was a lot of fun and very educational and if you can, take lunch in town at A Table Chez Mili.
In Saumur we had an extraordinary dinner at Le Pot de Lapin.
