Champagne Region (Reims)

This red little beauty was shining through our Hotel room window in the evening. Mumm champagne house
Old, old, old bottles of champagne in the cellar
Ummm, the best bit - tasting the champagne :-)
The famous Reims Cathedral
Pommery champagne house
Veuve Cliquot baby!
Our local patisserie :-)

We caught the fast train (TGV) from Paris over to Reims for a few nights to taste all of that beautiful bubbly stuff! Reims itself wasn't as "countryside" as I'd imagined, but very nice to have the French flavour in a small boutique city. We managed to get tours of Mumm, Pommery and Veuve Cliquot while we were there... all good!!!

I am not given to envy - much. Always wanted to see the Rheims Cathedral. A fairly bubbly time was had by all. The underground wine cellars really something.
