Cordes was a nice small town with good scenery surrounding it but town itself felt pretty bare and empty, overall good value for money and worth doing if you have a spare day in Toulouse”

The tours and tastings were wonderful, having the food made by his mother in his family home with our new friends we met on the tour was a core memory for sure! When my husband shared the story that we were familiar with Pic Saint-Loup because he proposed to me with a bottle from Chateau La Roche 14 years ago, Bertrand said, “Then we go there!” It added such a special touch and he even found an old bottle of the same wine, same vintage in their old bottle display! It was incredible!…”
