This is a fairly large confectioner that is conveniently located on the pedestrian walkway, Place…read moreDrouet D'Erlon in Reims. We went in here because my sister wanted to buy a box of chocolate for a friend. The store sells chocolates by the kilo, packaged candies such as caramels, meringues, biscuits, cookies and etc....Also you cannot miss the large variety of macarons they have on display. The ladies working in there are very friendly and have samples ready for their customers. We saw a sign for 7€ for 100 grams of chocolate, which seems to be a good deal. I bought the deal, but had the lady who was helping me choose the chocolates for me. Too many choices and they all looked good! The nice thing is the pieces are small, and that's good because the milk chocolate ones are a little sweeter than I like. She asked me if I wanted it boxed as in a gift for someone or in a regular bag. It was only a gift for myself, so I just had it bagged. The chocolates were good. The 100 grams were just enough to snack on for a few days. The milks were definitely sweater than the darks, so if you prefer then less sweet, get their dark chocolate. The two young ladies in there who were working were very friendly and very eager to help. Next time we're in Reims, I'd come back here and try their other confections like their macarons and other candies!

While we were touring the area, we ended up in Dormans around lunch time, so we decided to stop and…read morefind a place for lunch. After a bit of wandering, we found this place. Not only are they a Patisserie, they are a restaurant so we opted for that. There's a lovely outdoor seating area, so we opted to sit there, but tried to sit on one side to be away from anyone who decided to start smoking while they were there. Unfortunately, those seats seemed to be close to a wasps nest, as we were aggressively attacked by them for the entirety of our meal. We both started with the four cheese tart with duck sausage. It was incredibly tasty. The cheese was rich, the sausage delicious and the pastry well cooked. It was a great way to start. I then had the stuffed tomato with rice and chorizo and my partner ordered the chicken risotto. My tomato was divine. Rich tasting, heavenly. I was really happy I ordered it. My partner's risotto had a really nice flavor, but the chicken was really over cooked (so that was really unfortunate). We were quite full of rich food, so passed on dessert, but the selection of desserts and chocolates inside looked amazing. I did order a coffee, and they gave me a bit of chocolate to go with that, so that was nice. Definitely would come back for some good food and maybe some dessert, but we may not order the chicken...

This place was recommended to us by the French woman who cooked us breakfast at our B&B. We had a…read morelist of places that we wanted to try in Epernay, but some of them are closed in Sunday and we had a bit of trouble making reservations due to the language barrier. The style and decor of this place is a bit dated, but I'm not sure if it's old or purposely done that way. When we walked in, it was empty, but it filled up quickly. I think we were pretty much ahead of all the crowds by 30 minutes everywhere we went. You have the option of 4 or 5 courses, cheese course is included with either choice. I think every table we overheard asked about portion sizes and whether they should choose 4 or 5. 4 courses is plenty of food, but you should choose the 5 cause you're in Champagne, so why not. The sauce for my langoustines was a bit too fishy for my taste, but my fish and beef dishes were both really good. And tart for dessert was delicious. The French really know how to do pastries. They don't do wine parings, so we were recommended a bottle and it went very well with the food. We did learn that the champagne that is aged in oak goes better with food. Overall a very good dining experience.

Ate here last week! It was so delicious. We started with the escargot, which was so good. Then…read moremoved on to the entree; I decided on fish. It was cooked to perfection. The skin was just crunchy enough.. the fish was tasty and almost buttery. Definitely not disappointed. For dessert we had a chocolate cake to split. Although I wouldn't pick this place for ambiance, I definitely would say it had great food and a nice waiting staff. Will come back if in the area!
