What people say

"This is such a fun and unique experience in Paris. Would highly recommend and great value for money. Only feedback is the cheese fondue only comes with bread to dip in, would be nice to have some potatoes or vegetables. Overall, the experience was great and the staff go above and beyond. Also - they will pull the table out if you don't want to climb over it so please ignore reviews saying you have no choice."
