On our small group tours to Paris, sometimes we find the opportunity to get out of the city and do an enjoyable day in the Champagne region. These are two areas The Traveling Professor recommends:
Reims: I propose a toast to my favorite Champagne houses of Pommery, Taittinger, Mumm, and Veuve Clicquot. I prefer Reims because it only takes 45 minutes to travel to, as opposed to 75 minutes to Épernay. The town is larger and offers more dining options. I enjoy attractions like the UNESCO World Heritage Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Reims, where nearly every King and Queen of France was crowned. Located near the train station is the interesting Museum of Surrender where Eisenhower accepted the peace terms of The Third Reich, officially ending WW II. If arriving to Reims without reservations for a Champagne tasting or tour, head over to the tourism center adjacent to the cathedral for help in booking an appointment. A website for more information is: www.reims-tourism.com.
