Day 4 - Champagne

Today was an early day. We traveled to the Champagne region. It was about 2 hrs East of Paris. Most of us slept on the bus ride there, due to the early morning, and late night :-P

We got a tour of the G.H. Mumm champagne brewing company. It was so cool to see how champagne was made. I didn't know how much work there was into making good booze. We got a testing of two different kinds and it was amazing! They were both delicious. I got 2 bottles to give as gifts so they better like it or I will drink it!!


After the tour we went to Reims. We did a full concert at Notre Dame de Reims. This is where all the kings of France were coronated back when royalty ran France. It was massive! The length of this place was at least 3 football fields. The stain glass and just the detail of the whole thing was amazing. We all walked in and just stopped in our footsteps, and awed. It was really one of the most amazing expereinces that I have had on this trip thus far. We would be singing our songs, and reach the end. We would still hear our voices for another 10 seconds. It was incredible!!!!!!! Being in that church alone was just a feeling of excitement, and thankfulness.




We then drove back to the hotel, where we had dinner, and spent the night here. We were told to rest and relax for the evening. None of us have made it on the bus without falling asleep. Im loving being able to stay in the hotel tonight and just relax and rest!

Notre Dame de Paris, the Louvre, and then free time is tomorrrow!! Oh boy!!!!!!!!!
