Bags of tickets

It’s ‘La Route du Champagne en fête’ this weekend, and our guests will be arriving shortly to enjoy it with us.

We nipped into Bar-sur-Seine this afternoon to buy the tickets from the tourist office, which consist of a book of Champagne tokens, a glass, a breathalyser and a bag to carry them in that hangs around your neck. There was a bit of a queue, so we were glad we went to get them early in the week.

They had made a wonderful display just inside the door, and everyone was definitely getting into the party spirit, with lots of chatter and laughter.

This year there are 15 venues with 18 producers, across 6 villages. It will be the first fête du champagne for 3 years, so you can feel the excitement building, and the area has become much busier.
