Reims

I am very excited that in 3 months I will be living in Reims, the French capital of champagne. Let me tell you a little about it.
Reims is a place of coronation of French rulers and the capital of exclusive champagne. It is both spiritual and mundane. Metropolitan and provincial The land in which Reims lies, Champagne, is an agricultural region. Its name comes from the words "champ", field, and "campagne", a village. Champagne lent its name to the famous French wine. What a paradox, that an exclusive alcohol would be called a peasant in a loose translation. It is hard to imagine a worse name for a luxury product. However, it does not bother champagne.

In French Champagne, the climate is mild, but rainy, and chalky soils. Thanks to the unique combination on the world scale, the region becomes an ideal environment for vines. They have been cultivated here for centuries. Since the seventeenth century, champagne reigns, a symbol of luxury and sophistication.

I've chosen to go there on Erasmus because of my friend who I met on my au pair experience. She loves to study there. She told me that this is a beautiful, not so big town for students (owing to big amout of universities there).She encouraged me to go to Reims and I cannot wait to be there! :D
