This
morning we drove to Eppernay via the rural roads, through the town of Ludes,
where Kez and David had stayed previously. The French countryside is very green and beautiful at this
time of year, with wild poppies, lavender and flower boxes everywhere. Arrived
at Rue de Champagne and decided to see if we could tour Moet &
Chandon. Brilliant – on a tour in
the next hour. Walked across the
road to the Tourist Bureau to find out what other options were available.
After the
Moet & Chandon tour, we had lunch then drove down to Mercier and did their
tour – which was different from the others we had done, more of a modern
flavour. We thoroughly enjoyed
each of the tours and tastes of the champagne houses. Learned heaps! Of course we were surprised at the cellar door prices
compared to what we would pay at home.
Enjoyed
another drive through the countryside back to our hotel.
