Default Question for James Bond fans

Has anyone recently visited the Chenonceau chateau in the Loire and rented
the audio guide? The narrator on the English version of the guide sounds a
lot like Michael Lonsdale (i.e. Huge Drax from Moonraker):

Anybody?

He also does the commentary in Satie's house at Honfleur.
Satie of "gymnopedie" fame.

I really don't suspect Satie of being a pedophile but his name for the
pleasant piano pieces would be regarded as badly chosen these days.

The Oxford Dictionary gives for gymnopaedic (or gymnopedic):-

Gr. Antiq.The distinctive epithet of the dances or other exercises
performed by naked boys at public festivals.

1850 J. LEITCH tr. C. O. Müller's Anc. Art (ed. 2) §77 note 2 The
gymnopaedic, hyporchematic, and other kinds of orchestics were already
cultivated in a highly artistic manner.
