Private and semi-private tours of the Champagne region. They offer half-day, full-day or multi-day tours that focus on high quality boutique wineries in mostly Grand and Premier Cru Villages. They provide tours of the vineyards and wineries and offer comparative tastings of different styles of Champagnes that are made by these artistic wine makers. We present the entire process of creating Champagne and the culture and history behind it. They also host lunches with Champagne at a winery with traditional food from local farmers.
Notre-Dame de Reims
The French equivalent, somewhat, for England's Westminster Abbey, the cathedral at Reims was the church in which numerous French monarchs were officially crowned. Reims is one of the later Gothic cathedrals and renowned for its height. There is a fine interior west facade with carvings of Biblical scenes; some fine 13c stained glass in the high windows of the nave and choir; and windows by Marc Chagall (in the eastern chapel) and the two local artists Jacques and Brigitte Simon. The south transept window by Jacques Simon shows themes linked with champagne including a portrait of the monk who invented it, Dom Perignon.
Was the archbishop's palace and retains a 13c Palatine chapel.
A public library in Art Deco style.
A large late-Roman period triumphal arch.
A fine Renaissance mansion.
