The castle of Sedan
Here's where we found Hydromel, which was drunk by the ancients of Scandinavia, Gaul, Teutonic Europe, and Greece and in the Middle Ages. It's delicious by the way.
Epernay, waiting for the tour at Moet et Chandon
Apparently during the war the Germans took over this place.
Walking through the cellars is amazing. The temperature is usually at 10°C.
A gift for Napoleon I think...
Another cave in the city of Reims
Basilica St Remi
The most amazing thing about Pommery is that in 1858 it was a woman who ran it. Louise loved investing in art so the cave has hundreds of works of art.
Waiting for the tour...
Can't really remember...but I think this is the biggest barrel in the world and it was a gift for I'm not sure who.
Just one monumental, magnificent 116-step staircase connects this underground world to the outside world. Some people passed out going back up!
The chalk pits are also 30 meters directly down, dug by French and Belgian miners. Unlike Moet and Chandon, it has only 18 kilometers.
Huge bottles that have been laying there since I don't know when.
The remains of an ancient gate
