Avenue de Champagne, Epernay


‘Of course, ‘Maison Mercier’ is not the only ‘House of Champagne’ in Epernay.

This quaint French village is, perhaps, the most well known in the champagne appellation.
And the production of this sparkling wine,
which the entire town has been built upon, is omnipresent.
Even in the streets:

Dom wanted his picture taken with the lovely Kasia.
So we obliged:

Afterwards, we stepped inside to grab a few bottles of his namesake bubbly.
Coooool.
Chandelier of champagne glasses!

Oh, this one’s a bargain:

We’ll take three.

Another incredible French adventure.
And, since no adventure for Kasia and I would be complete without chocolate,
we picked up a few patisseries for the train ride home:

Back to Paris…
C’est la BELLE vie.
