Tour de FranceWell, there´s no doubt that this is tops in Europe if not the world.

Bonjour! I need some help with information about Champagne-Ardennes. I will be writing a magazine article on the area next week and although I know it quite well, I would be interested in knowing about any new and recent things which tourists (especially from Australia and NZ) might be interested in - new restaurants, interesting walks or bicycle trails, events, exhibitions - that sort of thing.

Sally
