LABADENS EMMANUEL

We just completed our second tour with France Intense! We toured small producers in the Champagne Region in September 2024 and couldn't wait to return! Pierre provided great service and guidance during both tours. His personality suits this service very well! Claire also was very supportive in coordinating the details for the day! I would definitely suggest contacting France Intense!

We toured Reims and its surrounds on a champagne tour with Pascale. We felt that the day was full to the brim of what we wanted: history, good food and outstanding champagne. Throughly recommended.

What a great experience today. Ingrid is the Best Guide Ever. She displayed a vast knowledge of the Chateau's we visited. Ingrid provided great entertainment and kept our group of nine engaged.

We had an amazing day with miss Marie from France Intense, we visited Chateaux Chenonceau, Chateau Chambord and as an in between a very fine wine tasting and lunch at Caves Ambacia, miss Marie is very knowledgeable and brings it with a lot of enthusiasm and passion, it shows in her stories. Also the staff at the caves (hope you have Mr. Pascal who’s passion for his beautiful product really shows), made our day, we had an amazing day out. Even though the weather was a bit rainy, we loved every second and truly believe it is worth every penny. We went home with good memories, new knowledge, some amazing wines and best of all, a reason to come back and explore the beautiful region a bit more with this amazing company, Thank you for a lovely day, et au revoir !

We had a wonderful daylong tour of the champagne region with Pierre of France Intense. He took our interests into consideration and took us all around the region. It was a fabulous day and we got to taste some amazing champagnes. While it was not inexpensive, it was well worth it for us champagne lovers. Would do it all over again with Pierre and France Intense.

Emmanuel was great in our 1st visit to BURGUNDY. He is local and knows almost everyone. We visited for 2 days and had a blast! Looking forward to visit and see Emmanuel.

Couldn't recommend them more. Fantastic experience and they even catered for our 3 month old with a car seat and we're so brilliant with him. Special thanks to our guide Marie who was an absolute star, she really made the trip special and is a wonderful guide.

While visiting Beaune, my wife and I—together with two other couples—joined a wine tour with France Intense, guided by the delightful Emmanuel and Marianne. We explored three different venues for local wine tastings, each offering 5 to 6 distinct selections to delight the palate. Both guides were exceptionally knowledgeable, weaving together the history, science, and stories behind the wines and their producers with humour and warmth. It made for an engaging, light-hearted experience that was as educational as it was enjoyable. We’ve always wanted to deepen our understanding of wine, and we truly couldn’t have asked for better guides. Emmanuel and Marianne answered all our questions thoughtfully and even recommended excellent dining spots for after the tour. We ended up purchasing three bottles—not because they were Grand Crus, but simply because we genuinely loved what we tasted. All in all, I would highly recommend this wine tasting experience with Emmanuel and Marianne. It was a highlight of our trip.
