The holiday season is coming fast, and some have already started filling their cellars for the occasion. You know my passion for champagne, it will be the star for me and for many of you.

And nothing better than visiting some champagne cellars when it rains!
Moët & Chandon here...
In my article Champagne, I explained in detail where and how these precious bottles were kept, Epernay sheltering 110km of cellars!

But also, the champagne I had chosen for My Solo Wedding in Santorini.

Today, I show you the Avenue de Champagne at Epernay.

Epernay, is the third largest city of Marne, after Reims and Châlons-en-Champagne, with nearly 24,000 inhabitants.

The city already existed in the Gallo-Roman era, where its wine was appreciated. Siege of battles and conquests, it changed nationalities across the ages, it was also destroyed many times, especially during the First World War.

In 1730, the first champagne house of Epernay was born with the brothers Chanoine, a year before, it was Ruinart in Reims (the very first champagne house).

With this economy, the Avenue de Champagne has become famous. It was renovated in 2010, it extends from the Place de la Republique (downtown Epernay) on 940 meters to the east, and parallel to the Paris-Strasbourg railway.
Thirty houses on almost a kilometre therefore, testimony of the history and wealth of this city.

Most castles and mansions were built from the second half of the 18th century.
​
In 1778, 7 large champagne houses were listed. Today, the Avenue de Champagne is the location of prestigious houses, but also where the magnificent city hall of Epernay is, built in 1858 for the family Auban-Moët and which was donated to the city in 1919.

I always go to The Bank restaurant when I am in Champagne-Ardennes. In addition to a refined and authentic cuisine, the decor is unique and atypical.

A former bank, hence its name, the basement has been converted into toilets but the safes are still there, unusual atmosphere.

Their list of champagne is as long as their menu, which always takes me a long time to choose, but what a pleasure ...

I confess that I don’t like rain and yet I always find interesting things to do to make me smile!

Love & Rain,

    Confucius said nature makes men identical, life makes them different.
    I think that everything happens for a reason and every moment helps to build our personality.  I don't like rules, I follow mine. It is time for me to share my unconventional life and my unusual experience...
