​FRANCE - Champagne

​​Reims, the home of Champagne (the most celebrated and celebratory wine in the world), is the main city of the Champagne area.There stands one of the most beautiful buildings of the Middle Ages in Europe, one that is filled with history: almost all French kings were crowned there for about 1,000 years. Most of the old houses were destroyed during World War I, and the city was extensively rebuilt in the 1920's in an Art Deco style.
