Champagne and Joan of Arc

Still dreaming of France, and the birthplace of bubbly, Reims!

Our morning began with a tour of the oldest champagne house in the world, Ruinart. Our knowledgeable guide educated us on the origins of this most delicious elixir, from the happy accident of the perfect location and humidity of the chalk caves, or crayeres, to the wonderful vintages (and non-vintages) still made with the same uncompromising quality 







After a glorious lunch at a charming spot recommended by our driver



we resumed our tour of Reims with a visit to the caves of Veuve Cliquot




                                                       
                                                     steeped in history and flavor





followed by a sampling Madame Cliquot's wondrous Grande Dame



and a quick trip to the cathedral at Reims

   
               




                                                  finishing with a visit with Jeanne d'Arc


before heading back to Paris

                                                
                                                                      for a last look


and libation


then to the station in the morning


and the train to Cannes for week 2!
