We booked a tour with John on line the night before our tour. This was late in September. He met us at 2:00 and was friendly and knowledgeable about his city. This was the last day of his touring for the season and though there were only 2 of us, he led us on an excellent tour, pointing out great restaurants and specialty shops along the way. He also took us to wonderful photography sites which we wouldn't have found on our own. John would love to also lead food tours in La Rochelle.

The tour was very interesting. There is so much history in this place. We had three tours that day at different distilleries, but I remember this one most for their history and of course tasting. I also purchased my own bottle of cognac - it has my name on it and registered as such in their books. And if you can allow your self - do try their "Fortis Et Fidelis" cognac that includes Otard from 1820.

Interesting tour presenting a good overview of Lyon. Good start of a weekend visit. Best stop was Basilisque Fourvière.
