Traveling In Style
I 've got to give it to you, Peter, to travel in style. My, I'm envious. The food and the wine (plus the company , of course) and the ambience! I wonder if you had to make reservations way before you got there? Cheers!!!!

Hi Liliram
For Chateau des Crayeres lunch we had a booking...but I guess at lunch you don't really need one. For Pommery, if you ask the restaurant to book you the tour, you receive a 50% discount. For Veuve Clicquot, this was really special and I guess cannot be booked at all.

Dream team, oh yes !
Nous avons été ravis de passer un peu de temps avec vous deux, grandes discussions autour d'une bouteille de champagne, d'une pizza ou même d'un cocktail, deux jours vraiment sympa ! La prochaine fois, nous viendrons vous voir à Bangkok ! Bon voyage à tous ! Les Champenois.
