Reims, Champagne-Ardenne, France

Now this seriously IS the best champagne I have ever tasted. The city itself is rather boring, pretty but not much bussle. Mumms champagne cellars though are pretty awesome. I also strongly suggest to check out the Notre Dame Cathedral because this is one of the other churches that houses Marc Chagallīs amazing stained glass treasures. The first of his stained glass work I saw in the Fraumunster in Zurich..wow...and these are still just as incredible. I was able to take pictures of these though so when I finally get to adding pictures all can see just how beautiful they were. He has a few more cathedrals that he made these seriously one of a kind special stained glass art. He was first and foremost an artist but did this as a gift to his minister father and really religious family. It also worked out rather nicely that his wifes father was a stained glass maker so he probably learned the trade from him but then took it 1000 steps further to art I canīt even explain. Hopefully I will catch some more on my travels!
