Armed with a lunch of bread, cherve, beets, and mâché, we set out Friday morning for the train ride to Reims. Reims, which is located in the Champagne region, produces 80% of the world's champagne so naturally our first activity upon arrival was to tour some champagne caves. The ones we toured were chalk caves which dated back to Roman times. While the tour guide didn't appear to know as much about the champagne making process as I would have liked it was interesting to see the caves and wall carvings which were made so long ago.
The next morning we celebrated the arrival of Matthew and my Dad with a brioche loaf and a jar of nutella! Very fitting, right? Our second day in Reims was very similar to the first with a tour of another champagne cave and a bit of wandering the city. Pretty uneventful and sadly, no outstanding food to note...
