Visiting Reims
|
Welcome to caves Tattinger, Reims |
Waiting for the tour to start |
Riddling rack |
Steps leading to an old convent |
|
A corner of the caves |
Going from one area of the caves to another on our tour |
Hundreds and hundreds of bottles aging in the chalk cellars, this is only one of many such cellars, all full of bottles. |
Les messieurs tasting a bit of bubbly |
|
Why are we smiling? Because it's $95 a bottle of champagne we're drinking
|
A battle map? No - a map of the champagne region |
The church in Reims where Clovis was crowned the first king of France |
Next stop - Maxim's for a tour and tasting. They were very nice there but it definitely was not $95 a bottle champagne |
|
|
|
|
|
| Time for a lunch break and lovely glass of Monaco - a blend of beer, lemonade and cassis. MMM - yuk! |
Images at the Cathedral: statue of Jeanne d'Arc, the doorway arch and the smiling saint |

A self-serve market selling everything you need, 24/7! |
|
It's the perfect size bottle of champagne but it won't fit in carry-on! Time to bid Reims a fond au revoir!
