TdF Day 40 - Split in the Pelaton

Plan of the day was set as an excursion to Reims depending on reasonable weather. The day dawned very foggy, so it was hard to tell, but Sandra led a breakaway out on the road keen to do a tour of Mumm before lunch. Team Etho were forced to set an alternate plan and set their priority as a look at the city and cathedral. Both were quite stunning, with the city having wide boulevards and a touch of class. The Cathedral was also magnificent and a credit to those who repaired it after the damage inflicted during WW1.
The touring party was rejoined for lunch at Au Petit Comptoir, but split again as Langford had missed the Mumm morning tour and only booked for the last 4 in the afternoon.
Team Etho visited Taittinger instead. It had incredible caves going back to Roman times and the taste of their bubbles was great. A quick drop by Veuve Cliquot completed the visit to Reims.....for the Etho's.
