Champagne is a region of north eastern
France. There was always wine in Champagne, but it wasn't
until the late 17th century that there became sparkling wines.
The Champagne region owes its reputation to its
sparkling wines. Champagne cellars are
always a great attraction, the best 'wine tasting routes' being from
Epernay to Reims and the area east of Troyes.
Reims is well known for its
magnificent gothic cathedral, enlightened by two beautiful
rose windows.
Reims
also has the largest Romanesque church in France, the Basilique
Saint Rémi, not to mention museums such as the Palais du Tau and the
Salle de Reddition (General Eisenhower's room in the second world
war). |
