Had a fantastic day in Champagne yesterday. Our guide and driver Benoit was great. An avid historian, so he was able to give snippets of interesting facts along the way. Our first stop was the beautiful city of Reims with a amazing church where Napoleon was crowned. We visited 3 champagne houses, had an insane amount of champagne throughout the day, a delicious lunch at a lovely small champagne house and that alongside the beautiful Champagne countryside was a trip I will never forget!

WOW! Tomer was the most amazing guide and planned a beautiful tour for our group. We started the day getting picked up right outside our hotel which made the day as stress free as possible. Tomer stopped at the Notre Dame in Reims so we could walk around and learn the history of the church. We then went to a small champagne house where we supported a local family-owned business and had the most beautiful lunch full of foods produced in the region! From there we stopped at a WW2 memorial and had a second tasting which had the most amazing views. Finally we went to one of the largest champagne houses which allowed for us to see how vast the region is! Finally we drove through the countryside where Tomer explained the history of the area. Our expectations were met and then some! A perfect day—we would recommend to anyone traveling to Paris!
