🇫🇷 Reims: 48 Hours of Champagne & Sun-Dappled Adventures 🍾☀️
🥂 Champagne Odyssey Drank my way through 3 legendary houses: 1️⃣ Ruinart – Oldest in the world (since 1729!), chalk caves like Gothic cathedrals 2️⃣ Veuve Clicquot – That sunset-yellow label tastes even better at the source 3️⃣ Small grower Eric Rodez – His "Cuvée des Crayères" = liquid gold Pro tip: The 30m-deep cellars are the perfect escape from summer heat! ❄️ 🏛️ History Between Sips Porte de Mars: A 3rd-century Roman arch hiding in plain sight (locals walk their dogs past it!) Notre-Dame de Reims: Where kings got crowned & the "Smiling Angel" winks at your champagne buzz 😇 🍽️ Foodie Finds ☕ Breakfast: Boulangerie Paintagruélique Best croissant in France? Fight me. 🥐 Butter layers so crisp they sing 🥗 Lunch: Le Crypto Smoked burrata + olive ice cream = weirdly perfect summer combo Lamb was... fine (but honestly, after 3 champagne tastings, who cares?) #ChampagneLover #ReimsDiaries #ParisDayTrip
