🇫🇷 Reims Weekend Getaway: A Bubbly Chronicle 🥂✨
✈️ Day 1: Champagne & Cathedrals 6AM @ CDG Airport: Smooth customs → TGV Inoui train to Champagne-Ardenne → TER to Reims (booked via Ctrip, seamless transfer!). Pro tip: Stay near Reims station—restaurant street steps away! 🍾 1st Stop: Ruinart (Since 1729!) World’s oldest champagne house 🏆 Weekend brunch (2 glasses + cellar tour) = €185/pax (book 3 months ahead!) Food pics (Slide 8!) + engaging English tour (history + production secrets) Spent 4 hrs savoring bubbles & chalk caves 🏰 2nd Stop: Pommery 5-min walk from Ruinart—just admired the iconic facade (too tipsy for another tour!) ⛪ 3rd Stop: Reims Cathedral Where French kings were crowned 👑 Sat for 1 hr, marveling at Gothic grandeur 📸 🌙 Evening: Strolled quiet streets (felt safe!), grabbed snacks/fruit, then crashed. ☀️ Day 2: French Sunday Silence Mamatte Brunch: €32 all-you-can-eat (bread, charcuterie, pancakes 🥞)—decent fuel before our train to Lyon! 🥂 Why Reims? ✔️ Champagne royalty (Ruinart = bucket list!) ✔️ Easy Paris escape (1hr by train) ✔️ Sunday serenity (shops closed, but brunch saves the day) #Reims #ChampagneLover #Ruinart #FrenchWeekend
