Cool wet start, had an inside morning, doing budget, on track so all good, waiting to see if weather cleared. It did and turned out to be a stunner.
Another big walk this time the other way to fhe Basilque Saint Remi, another huge church, but not as big as cathedral.
Next door to the Museum Saint Remi, which was once the Royal Abbaye of Saint Remi, which houses the holy ampula used to anoint the King's of France.
As seniors over 65 cost us €6 entry for both.
This is a massive building of corridors and rooms with everything from,prehistoric , bronze age, pre Roman to 2nd world war and modern day art exhibition .....of which we were 'boar 'd to chairs'....
Plus amazing artifacts and remains gathered in one place, including the most beautiful marble sarcophagus conserved in France and belonging to the General in Chief of the Roman Army who was born in Reims.
From here walked to Verve Cliquot, Pommery , Demoiselle Vranken and Taittinger , they were all closed but we got the photos .
Walked back along the river in late afterthought sun, sore feet but we'll worth it. We reckon we walked 7 or 8 miles.
Pork stir fry for dinner with cleansing ale, another good day.
