All this week Jaunted contributor Eric Rosen will be filling us in on his recent field trip, drinking his way through France. Any questions about what he saw, did and drank? Let us know.
You might not have heard of Reims, but it is the biggest city in the French region of Champagne. Several factors make Reims the perfect out-of-town daytrip from Paris. It takes less than an hour to get there. There is plenty to explore around the small city, so you don’t need to bother with a rental car. And did we mention that there is plenty of champagne to sample here? What more do you need?
Le Train
Getting from Paris to Reims is easy enough on the TGV, with over a dozen trains a day each way, with the direct ones taking only about 45 minutes and costing under $30 each way. The only note of caution is that many trains stop at the Champagne-Ardenne station, so pay attention when buying your ticket to make sure it goes all the way to Reims itself.
