Veuve Cliquot champagne house
by MEdelmann
When in Reims, don´t forget to visit a champagne house. I did it and we visited the Veuve Cliquot champagne house (I hope I wrote it correct, french speaking VTers please correct me if I am wrong).
It is very interesting to see. I liked this cellar which was made in a chalk hill. That is the reasons why the walls are white.
Palais du Tau
by Dabs
Another UNESCO World Heritage Site in Reims, the Palais du Tau was built between 1498 and 1509 and was used by the kings for their coronations. It was here that the kings dressed before the coronation and where they held lavish banquets afterwards. The last coronation and royal banquet was for Charles X who was crowned in 1825. The name Tau comes from the shape of the palace which resembles a "T", tau in Greek. Like the Notre-Dame Cathedral nearby, it was also damaged in WWI and restored following WWII.
The palace is now a museum containing such exhibits as statues and treasures from the Cathedral, Flemish tapestries and royal attire from coronations of French kings.
