Reims, second post, walking, dining and tasting chomppain.


Be sure to eat here when you are in Reims, it is on the main pedestrian walkway and out-a-sight good. Waitress has been to Fayetteville of all places (Fayett-Villa, she called it). Her grandmother's sister married an American soldier and her family went to the US once when she was young to visit.  


As the night is young/early for us, we start dinner early — but stay late. Took above photo on way out the door — and it is helpful that the Hotel du Nord, green lights across the way, is our hotel. Not far to walk after a bottle of wine.



Ate Moroccan dinner at this place one evening too, also very good. Surprise, they had wine, but no decaf coffee.


But an awesome dessert plate.  




enjoying a cup?-a-joe


and we did some serious walking around town to get to the various museums and sights.





and the streets were fun to walk


and one stop was all fun


and 6-7-8 were all ours too


We also took a short tour of a champagne house. The tour was of an old underground chalk mine that was used to store the champagne and we saw how it used to be made and a movie on how it is now being done.  

Our guide said chomp-pain in two distinct word and graayp when referring to champagne and grape.  We did get a champagne tasting lesson. Still not a fan of chomp-pain, not even the premium as Patt and I paid extra for the premium tasting too.
