We won!

It’s less than ten days before ‘La route du Champagne en fête’, our grand regional festival. It’s a superb event held every year in the villages across the Aube – the southern Champagne area. This year it’s in Celles-sur-Ource, the only village that is able to host it entirely themselves, as they have so many Champagne producers.

And if that isn’t exciting enough, yesterday I found out we’d won two tickets! We needed to collect them in person, so off we went to the tourist office in Bar-sur-Seine. Neither of us could quite believe it, a very pleasant surprise!

You can buy tickets for the festival now from the tourist offices in Bar-sur-Seine or Bar-sur-Aube for 30 euros each. You get a decorated tasting glass to use during the weekend and to keep as a souvenir, and a booklet with tasting tickets which is for the whole weekend, and allows the tasting of around 20 Champagnes.
