Day 12               Paris / Reims / Luxembourg / Bitburg  (450 km)

Ashort drive to Reims this morning; the French city with monuments which UNESCO listed as World Heritage, it is also the most famous town of the Champagne region. Stop to stroll to the famous Cathedral of Notre Dame in Reims, a masterpiece of Gothic art, the Cathedral of Our Lady was started in 1211. It was the cathedral of coronations for French kings in memory of the baptism of Clovis by Saint Remi, probably on Christmas Day 498. The left portal on the west front carries the famous Smiling Angel statue. This massive gothic structure is famous for being the coronation place of French kings and stands as a superb example of 13th century gothic architecture. The cathedral square is lovely and a pleasure to wander around with plenty of souvenir shops. Reims is also “bubbly”, by this we mean, the drinkable golden liquid –“Champagne” of course. There are numerous champagne cellars and stores, each one are usually family run business; with their blend of unique concoction. Continue northwards, we enter Luxembourg; another highlight of the day. It is a Grand - duchy, an independent country with the capital city that bears the same name -  Luxembourg City. It occupies a dramatic and commanding site on a high bluff above the narrow valleys of the Alzette and the Petrusse. We drop off at Place Liberte, see the bridges span across river Alzette, then to Notre Dame Cathedral, Hotel de Ville, Dukes Palace and Place Guillaume lined with many side walk cafés and restaurants.This evening we come to Bitburg in Germany.
