Reims, France

We're back in Western Euope! We began this leg by flying into Paris, and renting a car. The small city of Reims France makes an excellent day trip or short stay while making your way to the eastern edge of France.

The most noteworthy attraction being the Reims Cathedral which is stunning from the outside but also has some of the more beautiful stained glass works in church's we have seen. A UNESCO World Heritage site built in 1211 it did not disappoint. Prior to this it was the coronation spot for all the Kings of France. Reims was a quite city full of locals lacking the hustle and bustle which makes it a more peaceful location to base yourself in the northern Champagne region.Les mer
