La Champagne 🇫🇷

Champagne, Baby! 🇫🇷

This weekend was all about champagne: growing, harvesting, producing, champagne houses, champagne tasting, champagne cellars, driving through the champagne… ✨

The village of Hautvillers is considered the cradle of champagne, because it was here that the Benedictine monk Dom Perignon invented the method wine becomes champagne 🥂
Champagne sparkles ✨

The beautiful Verzenay Lighthouse that overlooks the vineyards.

From the 13th to 19th century all French kings were crowned in La cathedrale Notre-Dame de Reims.
The champagne is beautiful, loved the scenery outside the window and couldn’t get over the stunning landscapes of vineyards that go on for as far as you can see.
Champagne goes well with apricot tart 🥰
