la route du champagne en fête, arrival

Festival day had come, and we’d decided to head into Celles-sur-Ource around 11am. We were not sure where they would be getting us to park, although we could see they had allocated the airfield as a parking area. Rather than head up there, we chanced our luck and took one of the back roads in, where we managed to park along the side of the road, with just a five minute walk into the village.

I’m always amazed at how organised they are at these events. Even though thousands of people descend on one small village, they still manage to keep the traffic moving. I think the one way system really does help.

We made our way on foot towards our first producer, and the day started!
