What a beautiful villa we have found for our last week in France. Owners Sophia and Frederick have made us welcome with relaxing breakfasts and even a delicious dinner with them last night. Sophia gave us a guided tour around Vertus yesterday, and even organized the most humorous private champagne tasting with a very amusing, if somewhat eccentric local sommelier. A perfect place to end our France holiday.

Vertus
Mal spitting champagne onto the ancient walls as instructed at the champagne tasting..apparently a perfect way to appreciate the complex flavours. I nearly chocked when I had a go. Cedric, the sommelier looking on.
40 steps down underground. Dark and damp. With Cedric our eccentric sommelier giving us a private tasting, we were not sure whether we would return safely !!! Eventually did with champagne to share with Sophia and Frederick that night for an apperatif before the three course dinner they had prepared.

Beautiful stairs…Yes we were at the top !!!!

One thought on “La Villa Eustache, Vertus…our home in the Champagne Region”
What a beautiful place and its wonderful to spend the last pieces of time somewhere special isn’t it as it enhances your lasting memories and feelings for somewhere.
Spitting on walls? Oh dear, you really can’t take Mal anywhere there days 🙂
