What People Are Saying

Smaller than the other DeFrance. Preferred the selection/amount of shops at the original site
Guil is a true craftsman. The quality of his work and commitment to customer satisfaction is something severely lacking in this world
Their communication is not good. Twice my party drove a long distance only to be told the advertised event was canceled. The lady who sold the fudge was very sweet, though
