On our first day out of Paris we took a side trip to Epernay
The main Avenue de Champagne is lined with nineteenth century classical style mansions now occupied by the famous champagne producing “houses”.
After a quick lunch on the run (the locals’ idea of a sandwich is a stuffed whole loaf of bread), we stopped to pay our respects to “the Dom”.
We then did a very interesting tour of the Moet & Chandon cellars, naturally, with a tasting at the end.
As our little Peugot hire car was already overloaded with its passengers and their baggage, we were not able to stock up on the local product, although we particularly liked this chandelier which showed a certain amount of glass.
