A Pretty Little City

While staying in Epernay, we ventured into Reims for a day. There was an outdoor Holiday Craft Fair and though it was cloudy, the weather was perfect for this as it wasn't really all that cold. We browsed all the stalls, snacked on goodies, grabbed a beer or two and, of course, saw the Cathedral!

Next stop on the Fog and Food tour of 2005 was Brussels

Crafts!

I was excited to see the local crafts a the Village de Noel. Not quite sure how I felt about the semi-scary Christmas display behind me though....

And don't forget

To stop, look up and see the Gargoyles!

Pros and Cons

    Do you know Rossini's opera "The Journey to Reims"? It's very sweet and funny, and they never do get to Reims but just stay where they are and have a big party instead: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/tp/101374/

    Another place I've yet to see; the Chagall windows could make it worthwhile!
