Vertus, and Champagne!

Wednesday, 24th August 2022

It was time to leave Chamonix, the weather was poor there for a few days so an early escape from the rain promised sunny dry rock and adventure elsewhere. We plotted a route home via what looked like a very interesting limestone crag in the middle of the flatlands of the beautiful Champagne region…

Our destination, Vertus, was not only a brilliant find (it will feature again on drives north and south, summer and winter through France) it was also the perfect excuse for a little Champagne shopping! 🙂
