France is wine country. And of course, the sparkling wine that is known all over the world as Champagne comes from the grapes grown in this region. During my holiday, I visited two famous champagne makers, Piper Heidsieck and Moet & Chandon, both in the Champagne region.
This is the inside of the Moet & Chandon cellar. You can see all the bottles of Champagne stacked neatly on racks and waiting for the day that they will be introduced to the world as the "Drink of Kings".
A visit to Moet & Chandon comes with tasting of the champagne. Delightful!
In the Champagne region is also the famous catheral in Reims. This is where the French kings are crowned. The magnificant gothic-style church looks amazing and it's hard to imagine that the building was actually badly damaged during the bombings of World War II.
