Day 8              Saturday 9 June 2012: Reims.

Saturday was our first full day in Reims and and it was also a rest day so everyone had a leisurely start to the day before heading out to explore the city as well as visit the fabulous market which stretches on forever in the streets of Reims.

No doubt some shopping also took place and maybe even a glass of champagne was consumed during the day. You can never have too much champagne.

In the evening it was off to dine at the one star Michelin restuarant Le Grand Cerf. Our dinner at Le Grand Cerf is certainly one of the culinary high lights of the tour. It is a joy to see the look of admiration on everyones face as dish after dish is delivered to our table. We dined late into the night but we also had to be mindful of our early start the next morning for our mystery tour.
