Favorite thing: Visit the Pommery. Going down 100 feet and drinkimg champaign out of those cold vats is something you will never forget.
Fondest memory: Sitting in a restaurant watching a trapeze show overhead. (this was during WW2, l don't think that restaurant is there anymore.

Favorite thing: Walk! Do not take the bus (however that is a very comfortable way of travelling through Reims) but discover Reims by foot. You will see the old and the new streets and builings and you will meet a lot of people.
Fondest memory: Siiting in 'la Brass' and drinking a beer with peach with my friends. I still get weary when I think of that time with all my fellow students. Even my mother once came there, and one of the guys asked for her hand (in dutch! Arnauld really spoke his languages).

Favorite thing: History
Reims became established under the name of Durocortorum, as the ancient capital of the Roman province of Belgium. The Romans were attracted by its chalk quarries, or crayères, which were used to provide building materials. Today, their special cooling properties are employed in champagne production. The Rèmes tribe, who formed an alliance with Julius Cesar, gave the town its current name.
Fondest memory: I have been at Reims i think at 1983 i forgot.....
Champagne
The Champagne region is strictly controlled by French law and beyond its borders, champagne grapes cannot be cultivated nor champagne produced. Reims and Epernay are home to many renown makes such as Mumm Cordon Rouge, Krug and Moet Chandon, as well as many small independent producers. Visitors can see some of the marvels of the champagne houses and their chalk cellars, whose cooling elements and natural moisture regulation are ideal for champagne production. Many establishments offer guided tours in a variety of languages, with a tasting session included. However some champagne houses are not open to the public, but by appointment only.
