We're going the end of May we're can we book?
We took a Champagne tour when we were in Paris in 2019. Our guide picked us up at 8:00 a.m. We went to the vineyards, met some of the workers -our son, who was 23 at the time, said he wanted their job! 😅 Michel opened up his trunk right there in the field, and served us our first glasses right there! Then we visited a couple of Champagne houses, with some wonderful tidbits to snack on, had a lovely lunch, and were deposited back to Paris early that evening. Magnifique!
