 The
home of Champagne – the wine synonymous with celebration –
could only be welcoming. Accept its invitation to feast your eyes
and taste buds!
The baptism of Clovis in Rheims, a key event in
the history of Champagne-Ardenne, launched a long-lasting tradition
of anointing the kings of France in the city. Rheims was made famous
by its cathedral, included on the Unesco World Heritage list –
as are the Palais de Tau and the Saint-Rémi basilica and
museum, monuments that stand with a large number of Norman buildings
and the region's imposing fortified constructions. This wealth of
architectural heritage is enhanced by natural surroundings that
are just perfect for active leisure pursuits – whether on
foot, by bicycle or on the water of the great lakes. A large number
of special circuits have been put in place to let you enjoy the
environment to the full! What's more, Champagne-Ardenne has a real
gift for fine food: Ardennes ham, Rethel boudin blanc, Haute-Marne
truffles and Langres and Chaource cheeses are just some of the items
on the mouth-watering list of local produce: try them in one of
the region's 350 restaurants! |
