The gothic Cathedral - The vineyards Reims - northern France - situated an hour from Paris, at crossroads with the European motorways A4-E50 (Paris - Strasbourg), A34 (Ardennes – Belgium) and A26 – E17 (Calais – Dijon - Lyon)
Travelling to this city is enjoying the vineyards - the monuments and tasting the golden pearls of Champagne.
Three different types of landscapes - perfect for cultivating the famous champagne :
First : le "Pinot Noir", "raisin noir au jus incolore", has the reputation to give "body" to the champagne !
Second : le "Meunier" cultivated for it's fruity taste and finally the cultivation of the famous "Chardonnay" the white grape giving flavour to the champagne.
The secret to make champagne is the labour of the cellar master ! Mixing and cultivating this three types of grapes is the most hidden secret of making champagne !
Please give me this secret formula ! |

Good photos and an enjoyable page, Luc. I don't know whether the fountain is fizzing champagne or water, but there is an almost identical fountain in Sydney! (Sadly, it splashes water) :)) | christine.j Wed Oct 25, 2006 18:42 UTC
