Reims, Champagne<br />
45 minutes by train from Gare de l’Est lies<br />
Reims, the capital of Champagne. From the<br />
station you can walk to some of the best<br />
Champagne houses including Mumm (15-<br />
minute walk), and Charles de Cazanove (5<br />
minutes) for a tour and tasting. On the<br />
outskirts of town, Ruinart is the favourite<br />
Champagne of the French and oldest<br />
Champagne house in the world, but you’ll<br />
need to take bus no. 3 from the station and<br />
walk 5 minutes from the Crayeres stop (total<br />
20 mins – it’s worth it!).<br />
There are also loads of little boutique<br />
Champagne bars including the fabulous Pol<br />
Couronne, where you can taste and buy<br />
affordable vintage Champagnes from the<br />
family-run company.<br />
“The city of coronations” or “the city of<br />
Kings” as it’s known, houses the great<br />
UNESCO-listed cathedral <strong>No</strong>tre-Dame de<br />
Reims, where French kings were crowed for<br />
1000 years.<br />
