Well dear reader, Reims just 45 mins by train from Paris on a sunny day was a great find. The capital of the Campagne region (as opposed to sparkling wine - note to Aussies). The Travelling Goddess in the spirit of the region tooka tour of one of the Champagne houses G.H. Mumm, whilst it could be said it's a good PR deal - the tour was most interesting. I have a new regard for the history and technique of Champagne production and enjoyed sampling some G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge at the end of the tour.
Reims of course has a catherdal to Notre Dame and a Jesuit planetarium plus a very up market shops full of fashion and local produce. Very gracious homes and streets...
