      Flights of fancy

      21 września 2022, Francja ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      After floating above Épernay we headed back to the apartment for a bite to eat. We planned to have a few Champagne tastings (flights) this afternoon, well at least Bronwyn and I did.

      We first did a bit of shopping - we have been well behaved during our stay, only buying Champagne and chocolate so far. We bought a couple of souvenirs before heading to our first tasting at Champagne De La PROPRIETE. Ian joined us and we had six different champagnes; they weren’t too bad and they came with snacks. We then moved onto Janisson Baradon for our next tasting. (Ian elected to skip this tasting and instead went to the Champagne museum.) Here we had five champagnes:- Brut, Extra Brut, Grande Réserve, Blanc de Blancs 2014 and finished with a Brut Rosé. All had fairly low sugar added, which suits my palette.

      During our tasting we starting chatting to a retired Dutch couple on the table next to us. They were really fun and were spending 2 weeks in Champagne. The afternoon flew by and before you knew it Ian was back form the museum. We headed home to have dinner, which comprised of quiche and green beans from our Charcuterie, some yummy bread from the boulangerie (one with chorizo and one with lardons) and macaroons for dessert, all washed down with a bottle of Jean Milan Rosé.

      We had tried to book into a restaurant called Why Not for dinner but they were fully booked, so our makeshift meal in our apartment was a nice alternative. Tomorrow we leave for Lyon, and will be up early as our train to Paris is at 8.30am.       Czytaj więcej

      Exploring Épernay on foot.

      21 września 2022, Francja ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C

      We had no commitments today, so had a lazy start to the day. I went out and purchased some baked goods from another local Boulangerie and we headed out around 10am to do a self-guided walk around the town that was recommended by the Tourist Office. Unfortunately, not long into the walk we found it difficult to ascertain some of the landmarks as the print on the map was tiny (my eyesight is pretty good but even I struggled), so decided to go a bit off piste and do our own thing.

      We went past the Hôtel De Ville (town hall), Théâtre Gabrielle Dorziat and Église Notre-Dame. At this point we found it impossible to follow the map, so we just meandered down the streets, stopping at various buildings or areas of interest. We saw the Portail Saint-Martin, Maison de La Lune (a funky Art Nouveau house) and Église St-Pierre et St-Paul. There was so much to look at and on such a lovely day it was nice to explore the town.       Czytaj więcej

      We are in Champagne Heaven

      18 września 2022, Francja ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      After lunch we first went to the tourist office to get some advice on how to best tackle the city. We ended up walking a kilometre up and back Champagne Avenue, chocked full of champagne houses - both big and small. It is a beautiful avenue full of beautiful buildings.

      There are a number of establishments where you can sit and have champagne tastings or a bottle. We decided to go for a tasting, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We even got to meet one of the local champagne producers, Damien Férat. We really enjoyed his champagne, but instead of telling him that I loved his champagne, I told him that I loved him! This gave everyone a bit of a laugh - I think I even blushed! (Ed - it was a Champagne moment!)

      Epernay is a stunning town that is beautifully kept with a wonderful range of grand houses and Chateaux. Can’t wait to explore more tomorrow.       Czytaj więcej

      Hello Epernay

      18 września 2022, Francja ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      It was an smooth and uneventful train ride to Epernay. The biggest hurdle was getting our suitcases up and down the steps at the station (thanks Ian).

      It was a very short stroll to our Airbnb, where we left our bags and went to have lunch and started to explore the town. Our apartment is up 3 flights of stairs in an old building with high ceilings, so another big shout out to my wonderful husband for the heavy lifting (Ed - blokes are useful for some things!)

      The apartment is absolutely gorgeous - spacious with stylish decor. We had lunch at a little family run bistro - the Grill and Chill - located just around the corner from our apartment. Once lunch was over we headed out to explore the town and taste some champagne.       Czytaj więcej

      18.09 - Day 02. Épernay & Champagne

      18 września 2022, Francja ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      So we had our first lay in for I don’t know how long - was a joy not to have to be anywhere at any time!
      I finally caught up with Tre sitting in the sunshine outside the hotel at about 11am (I got up last) and we took a relaxed stroll back into Épernay central looking for a coffee and some breakfast. As usual in France we were a little late and having taken in a small street market we grabbed a table in the sunshine at Le Khédive in Rue de la Porte Lucas, a stones throw from last nights restaurant.
      After a well sought after coffee we decided it would be a good idea to lunch now and then not have to worry to much later for food.
      Tre decided it was late enough in the day to sample her first champagne of the day and I jumped in with a rouge beer that everyone around us seemed to be sampling.
      We spent a good couple of hours enjoying the sunshine and warmth of the day, lovely food including mirabelle crumble and a couple more drinks. I am now officially a fan of Affligem Rouge - mixed berry beer.
      After lunch we wandered some of the surrounding streets finding a part ruin of the original Épernay Notre Dame Church.
      A few minutes later we spotted Moët & Chandon main building and the Ballon D’Epernay. Looking to get a little closer we found ourselves in Avenue de Champagne, a street with all the main Champagne producers having a presence - in the main, stunningly majestic and grand pieces of French architecture.
      We started our stroll along the Avenue taking in Moët & Chandon, Hôtel de Ville, Perrier Jouet, and Collard Picard amongst others. At Hôtel de Ville we detoured down through the stunning gardens that host it, and out the northern gate to visit Église Notre-Dame, the church that holds centre stage within the town.
      The church was typically beautiful inside, with an abundance of stained glass windows held under its considerable and high roof. I can only say that there must be a lot of naughty people in Épernay, maybe due to the champagne - as I have never seen so many confession boxes within one church!
      We returned to the Avenue de Champagne after the excursion to the church to continue our champagne education. By this I mean we stopped at Collard Picard for a further glass of fizz making the most of the late afternoon sun and watching the slightly brisk wind that had started, play havoc with Tre’s hair whilst she tried to look cool sipping fizz with the other trendies!
      We then commenced our walk back to the hotel stopping to buy ourselves a champagne stopper, for use with our undoubted champagne purchases tomorrow!
      Back at our little bolt hole we simply chilled and reflected on a relaxed and enjoyable day.
      Tomorrow’s to do list:
      Get up
      Buy champagne
      Drive for 6 hours
      Arrive at our destination.
      Chill       Czytaj więcej

      More from beautiful Épernay

      19 września 2022, Francja ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Épernay is a wonderful picturesque town with so much to see and take in. The flowers are still amazing and the parks are so well kept.The people are very welcoming and friendly and have tolerated my attempts to converse with them in French. I have got up early to get baguettes and pastries from our local boulangerie, and have successfully purchased some wonderful meats and cheeses from our local charcuterie. Our apartment is in a beautiful old building full of character. Czytaj więcej

      Moët & Chandon

      26 września 2022, Francja ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Das Wetter hat, wie angekündigt, gewechselt. Nachdem wir es heute früh dann doch geschafft haben unser Duschwasser warm zu bekommen ( schon 1.000 mal gemacht 🤣) und gefrühstückt haben, laufen wir zu Moët & Chandon und besichtigen die Keller.
      Es war interessant, die Führung war auf englisch.
      Am Ende wandern natürlich 2 Flaschen ins Womo.
      Uns hat die Führung gut gefallen. Aber es gibt sicherlich spannendere Keller 😃       Czytaj więcej

      Champagne

      17 kwietnia 2023, Francja ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      This morning we said goodbye to Paris and headed east to the Champagne region. The soil, weather and growing season creates grapes and wine that makes champagne or sparkling wine. Champagne results because the grapes have to be picked before the frost and then it continues to ferment in the bottles creating carbon dioxide which causes the fizz. This can cause some bottles to blow their corks and the wine is wasted.
      We traveled through an area where battles raged in WWI and WWII, which now looks like farming fields except when we came to large graveyards for the fallen soldiers. These areas reminded us of the devastation that this area suffered, and when we entered Eparnay, we also saw bullet holes scarring the outside of the churches.
      We visited the Nicholas Fouette winery, a cooperative that produces award winning champagne. We learned how the wines are made and we finished up the tour with champagne tasting. Since I don't drink, Doug gets double samples.       Czytaj więcej

      Champagne, was für ein Hype

      29 maja 2023, Francja ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      Der Stellplatz ist wunderschön, aber hoffnungslos überlaufen. Für uns ein Zeichen, dass es Zeit wird nach Hause zu fahren. Mit dem Fahrrad machen wir eine Tour durch die Weinberge und wundern uns über zahlreiche Touristen an einem Aussichtspunkt und stellen fest, dieser ist am Weinberg von Moet et Chandon… Den Shop besuchen wir dann auch kurz in Épernay… die Stadt hat außer der Prunkstraße mit den zahlreichen Champagner Häusern nicht viel zu bieten.

      Wir mögen ihn nicht besonders gern und ziehen eine gute Flasche Wein vor.       Czytaj więcej
