Good factory tour - The factory tour experience was good, but there is no public transportation to the place. So, it caught us by surprise. The guide also explained the cork making process in detail and was open to answering the questions.

A little disappointing. - Unfortunately the factory was not in operation. We have Vincent a lot of cork piles and that's it. The visit was much focused on the manufacture of corks. I wish I'd learned more.

Not essential - Overall average. Traffic jams are no longer on site due to lack of personnel, it is a shame. We only see the size of the cork plate once flat. That's a shame. The guide was good and explained to us in French what we did with cork once treated. For the factory visit, this is really very, very insufficient.
