Reims

Situated in the verdant heart of the Champagne region, fans of the finer things in life will no doubt relish a chance to visit Reims. French cuisine, ornate architecture, rolling countryside and, of course, sparkling vintages all abound. Taittinger, Piper-Heidsieck, Mumm, Krug and Veuve Cliquot all have cellars in the city centre, and the UNESCO-listed Notre Dame Cathedral was famously the coronation site of the French monarchy - just two of the things that make the city truly unique.
