Champagne region

The highlight of our stopover to the ferry was a day of wandering around the champagne fields of Chalons en Champagne and nearby Epernay followed by a tour of Mercier caves.  Fascinating to learn how they produce champers…we now guzzle with a little more respect!  And so it was on Bastille Day that we were on the ferry sailing across to Dover…..
