Reims

One of the day trips we wanted to take while in Paris was to go back to Reims, a city in the Champagne region of France.  We booked a tour of a Champagne house we had not been to before and enjoyed walking around in warm, sunny weather (quite a contrast to our previous visit).  I was pleasantly surprised at what an easy day trip this was - the train ride is only 45 minutes long - and it was a lot of fun to have a mini-getaway while still being home by dinner.
