We are English speakers, but we had a great time and the hosts made sure to clue us in on what was happening/what to do (note: the acting/performances are done in French). But it was definitely worth it and we had a blast despite the language barrier. With your Un Poison Presque Parfait ticket, you get to wear cloaks and are provided with 3 cocktails in a really cool venue - plus the hosts/actors are very friendly. We still have a few more days left in Paris, but this could easily be our favorite experience. 10/10 recommend!

The cocktails are unique and great.
We went there completely unprepared and spontaneously and it was a blast! Just passing by, we saw interesting display and bunch of people writing to enter. We asked and
the great master of alchemy managed to find positions for two more apprentices ;)
The team down there made great efforts to make up for the fact that we could not speak French and they explained us everything and made sure we have all the clues for the riddles in English. Riddles were fun, potions were nice looking and strong ;D we’d recommend going there to anyone!
Lots of fun! An English version is available if you request it in advance. The staff really made the experience incredible, a big thank you to everyone who was there to bring the game alive!
We were worried we wouldn't understand anything as we don't speak any French, however the staff were extremely helpful and more than happy to explain it to us. A very different and fun experience, would reccomend!
When we saw that there was a 'Potions & Co' in Paris, we immediately decided to book the experience. It was indicated on the website that you could book an English timeslot, which we did immediately. It soon became clear on location that the employees spoke just a little English. The entire experience consists mainly of live theater, only it was completely in French. As a tourist you get a laminated piece of paper with some text on it, but the interaction between the 'actors' and the audience is much bigger than this story on paper (and in French of course).
I therefore would NOT recommend booking this as a tourist who only speaks English. It maybe would be nice if you can speak French.
When you sell in English that means you should also speak English. Not for English speakers. You don't yet what you pay.
My honest suggestion: Please hire multilanguage actors (not your friends) and you will get 5*, till then remove the English speaking slot from your site. English speaker will give you 1* and you will reach rock bottom.
