Chic Eats: Brasserie Flo is a great restaurant, authentic, delicious and welcoming. It's a historic French-style brasserie where the products' quality and freshness can be measured in each mouthful.
Foodies should head to rue Porte du Champ de Mars (a nod to the city's Roman past and the huge Roman triumphal arch which remains, an incredible monument) for fabulous gourmet food shops and the covered market Halles du Boulingrin (open Monday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings). You'll also find lots of fabulous restaurants in this area including the Brasserie Boulingrin where for 4 Euros they'll drive you home after lunch! Champagne is enjoyed here with lunch, dinner, supper, as an aperitif and a digestif! (Check out some fab Champagne cocktail recipes here).
Bake my Day: Don't miss Waïda (3-5 place Drouet d'Erlon) a gorgeous art deco patisserie and café right by the Cathedral, be warned, the mouth-watering display of cakes, breads and other goodies are irresistible!
Stay: There are plenty of hotels in this city. I stayed at the Best Western Hotel de la Paix - superb! See the tourist office website below for more details of where to stay.
Take home: World famous pink Reims biscuits to go with the Champagne. Try Maison Fossier (20 rue Maurice Prévoteau) where they've been making these delicate delectables since 1756.
