This morning we strolled through the sun-drenched, serene and lush streets of Baden-Baden (Badn-Badn as Sofia perfectly calls it). It was the last precious hours before starting the long return journey and we felt a bit like prisoners on their daily court-break.
Inevitably, we set off for Reims, our last stop before hitting London. Reims, the capital of champagne, is next door to our first stop at Dizy, albeit bigger, posher and with restaurants (for those with a good memory). As a matter of fact we had booked as a treat a hotel/restaurant with 2 Michelin stars, so as to eat and drink our woes away.
Malheuresement, having lost all count of days and dates, we didn't realise that Day 16 was a Tuesday, when the said resto is fermé. But thanks to the very helpful concierge there we had a wonderful dinner at a very French brasserie in downtown Reims, next to the main food market. Both food and champagne were delicious and served their purpose in lifting our spirits for the rest of the day.

Off to the last hotel bed of the grand tour...
