Wednesday was the final English lesson of 2011 for my lovely French ladies, so we decided to have a party. I invited some real English ladies too, so that they would have lots of opportunity to speak English. Needless to say, it was great fun, and the champagne was flowing, of course!
Reims Cathedral like you’ve never seen it before
Standing outside Reims Cathedral at 11pm is not what I’m usually doing on a Thursday night, but yesterday was an exception. From now until the end of October, every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening at around this time, you too can witness an amazing 3D sound and light show celebrating the 800th anniversary of the magnificent gothic cathedral.
Take a look at this video below to get a taste of what you’ll experience when you visit yourself. Enjoy

More Clicquot
Continuing the Veuve Clicquot theme that I started on a previous post, I took Pepper out into the vineyards today, behind the Clicquot Manoir here in Verzy, and discovered some little yellow signs alongside the vines. Each sign had a name on it with a date, and I was fascinated to learn what they were for.
Take a look at the video and you’ll find out.
Enjoy!
Veuve Clicquot’s Mansion in Verzy
I was out and about with my dog today, so I took three short videos on the lovely mansion here in Verzy, built by Mme Clicquot in the mid 1800s for entertaining her very important clients from the European aristocracy. It’s still used to today to entertain VIP clients, by invitation only. Take a look at the videos here… Enjoy!
