The
sacred town of Reims is the capital of the Champagne region and known throughout
the world for its sparkling wine, champagne. Reims is also the city of coronations
where most of the French Kings were crowned.
Our morning orientation tour of Reims includes a guided visit of
the Gothic cathedral. At the superb Piper-Heidsieck champagne caves,
we embark in small carriages for a magical tour with recorded commentary
in 7 languages.
A champagne tasting completes the visit. Free time for lunch. In
the afternoon, enjoy the picturesque landscape of vines between Reims
and Epernay. At Epernay
we visit the prestigious wine cellars of Moët & Chandon (visit may
be substituted with Mercier Champagne cellars) and we taste their
reputed wine.
