Day 4. Thursday 13 June: This day was an early start as we had an 11 am appointment for a tour of the Champagne de Castellana cellars at Epernay and were determined we were not going to be late! A little drizzle rain did not deter our enthusiasm.
From there we travelled to Reims and first stop was the Palace of Tau, to admire the magnificent tapestries from the 13th century, and the tall statues.
Heavier rain was definitely a deterrent in Reims but did not dampen our spirits. Umbrellas had appeared. On to Amiens, a quick visit to the supermarket, and then we enjoyed an organised group meal.
