If you have a little extra time and you’re willing to travel 18 miles, take a look at Reims. This popular place boasts a world of things to see and do. Among your first few stops here ought to be Veuve Clicquot-Ponsardin, Roman Reims and Ruinart. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Soissons, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Soissons Cathedral. (But we’re also huge fans of Chateau des Fosses and Musée de Soissons.)
