Epernay, France

Adam had a four day weekend for Labor Day, so we decided to take a drive down to France. We took the Euro tunnel over and it was quite impressive. We just drove our car onto the train and in 30 min we were in France! Did I mention that the train went under the English Channel?! I tried not to think about that part... We then drove to Epernay, which is in the Champagne area to hang out for the day. We visited a couple Champagne Houses, did a tasting, and then took a tour of Moet and Chandon. It was really neat to learn the process of how Champagne is made. We also got to tour their HUGE underground cellars where they age the Champagne for a minimum of two years. The tour guide didn't know exactly how many bottles were down there but it is certainly in the millions! This area in France is absolutely beautiful, I wish we had more time to spend there but we had to move on to see Paris!
