We're driving back home from Spain at the start of June. It's my wifes birthday on the day we set off and i've added an extra day to the journey we did out here to try and make it more of a relaxed journey, with the aim to stop over in Epernay for some Champagne house tours/drinks.
The plan is to set off from here on the Friday, drive up to Girona/Narbonne depending on how we feel. Then on the Saturday drive to somewhere just south of Reims. Stay overnight there, and then wake up Sunday morning. Drive for around 2 hours to get into Reims and visit 1 or 2 Champagne houses, then finish off driving up to a final stop in Calais ahead of an early tunnel crossing on the Monday morning.
My initial plan was to aim for Gosset, it's our favourite champagne, and we had it at our wedding. However, i'm now realising that not many places are going to welcome a dog sniffing around their wine cellars. Even if he is a French Bulldog and has every right to go wherever he wants in France!
I've dropped Gosset an email to see if dogs are allowed on the grounds at all, on the basis that just going for a drink would be nice for us, but does anyone know of any places which might be more accommodating?
Otherwise i might consider a change of route and possibly try and head up the west side of France, and check out San Sebastian and Bordeaux and sack off Reims altogether and try and see more of central Spain
Paging @taB and @randomshenans who might have more knowledge than most.
