Relaxing in Reims - weather is great

Wednesday 30th April 

Took the night off from blogging last night. Not a lot to report. We just had another long days drive from Lyon to near Langres (north). Beautiful roads - wide and very little traffic - and Rob was happy when we found a few short sections with speed limit 110 and no trucks. 

Time for lunch and right on 12 we passed through a village called Moissey with a restaurant for lunch. Roast chicken and the usual French vegetable - green beans, with panacotta for dessert. Very nice lunch and we were joined by the owners dog. 

We were very good and didn't indulge in these for breakfast.

Papa dit non - dad said no!

We stayed last night in small village near Langres. 

Today we have travelled to Reims. Again Dora picked some good roads - well done Dora. The trucks on the road to Lyon were just unbelievable. So good to be off the main road.

We did a bit of a cooks tour of central Reims as we searched for the tourist information centre. We kept coming up against one way roads and roadworks. They are doing extensive renovations to the historic centre - replacing a lot of the old cobblestone streets. No photos - we were just on a mission  to get to our accommodation. 

We are in a suburb of Reims for the next 2 nights. Tomorrow is a public holiday (labour day) and most shops and businesses will be closed. We are assuming all the touristy places will be open so we will visit them tomorrow.

Our apartment in reims. There are 3 in the back yard of the house. Small, but has what we need and the owners are lovely. They have 4 young children. Being able to sit out in the garden is very relaxing.
