| A street
in Epernay |
In
Reims: Pommery, well known, not least for its original architecture |
Champagne Pommery & Greno |
The
Pommery buildings, now the property of Vranken |
Champagne Ruinart, founded in 1729 and thus with a claim to being the
oldest house in Champagne |
|
|
|
|
Riems
has fewer (visually) spectacular champagne houses than Epernay, but has
on the other hand other tourist attractions, like for example the famous
cathedral. |
