French Bubbles

Just a few hours drive from the Loire Valley we landed in Epernay.  Yeah! Champagne country.  Avenue de Champagne, the most famous street in Epernay is where we leisurely spent the afternoon sipping bubbles. Moet & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Pommery and the list goes on. 
After all the bubbles we stayed the night at a the beautiful Le Chateau d'Etoges.  What a treat. 
We stopped in Reims on our way back to Paris to tour the amazing Notre -Dame de Reims.  A 12th century cathedral where the coronation of 25 French Kings took place. 
We had a really  nice road trip in our funny little car.

Going down to dinner.  Beautiful dinning room.

My favorite, the Cheese cart.  A morning swan.
