The route offers wonderful views and a rich heritage : The vine is colorful over the seasons, we can visit a lot of caves, churches, and admire the typical architecture of the region.

Champagne is the wine of kings and the king of wines. And it is also a real homage to the French skill and the French way of life. Its unique taste comes from the northern climate of the region, the chalky subsoil and its particular production with a second fermentation in the bottle.

By the way, as a real French man/woman, don’t forget to enjoy a glass of Champagne!

The Chantilly cream (”whipped cream” for Anglo Saxon) appeared in the hamlet cottage and in the Prince of Conde dairy.

A legend claims that it was invented by the famous French chef, Vatel, who elaborated it for a huge banquet for Louis XIV at the Château de Chantilly (in the Picardy region). We do not know much more about the origin and the making of this emulsion recipe because it had remained secret for a long time. However we know that its success is due to the quality and the freshness of the cream.

For several years, this delicate whipped mixture had become a classic in the French gastronomy and most of all in the pastry!
