While in Reims, try to stay at this elegant "Domaine Les Crayeres" a chateau hotel set in a magnifique parc
We had a gorgeous room , with a huge Terasse and let me tell you , sipping a "coupe" , while looking at the gorgeous parc before diner is a pretty romantic way to start the night!
The setting, the friendly but highly stylish staff , the food , it's all top notch.
We had just drove from Paris so the first night , we all went to "le Jardin" the indoor and outdoor brasserie restaurant , near the herbs garden , we sat under huge lighted umbrellas, and even though it was full , we had a smooth service , I had the safran mi cuit salmon , a délice...we were with our 2 daughters and husbands, with their 8 and 9 months old babies ,who were in the rooms , but Thanks to Wifi , they could check on their telephone making sure they were Cosy , and sleeping .
The 2nd night after a fantastic day of touring some Champagne houses , perfectly organized by les "Crayeres" , we ate at the Gastronomic restaurant lead by the talented chef : Philippe Mille "le Parc "
For the first time , and if you are hungry, I would recommend the 12 courses menu , to sample everything on the menu , it 's a unique experience: when they bring you some of the food, (I forgot which dish) in a silver dome , it takes 2 staffers to delivers it to your plate, Ohlala! Let s feel like a Royalty tonight.
The sommelier will also recommend the perfect paring wines , they will accommodate you with a classy suggestion , without this ostentatious "air " some French sommelier are known for..
Yes, It's classy , but not "stuffy",
You can dress up or not , at your liking , as the ambiance is sophisticate, and relaxing , it is the French hospitality at his best!
Honeymooners or family are welcomed and I just
wish I lived closer than California , so I could spend more week ends there to unwind and just be spoiled!!
