Second Day in Reims

My second day I didn't get started as early as I would have liked (when do I ever?) so I only had time for one museum rather than two. What I ended up doing was walking over to see the Sube Fountain and a couple of the squares (place du Forum and place Royal) and getting lunch at a nice place called L'Apostrophe. It was also during the last days of this year's Christmas market which was fun! Lots of stalls selling everything from mulled wine and chocolate to tree decorations to jewelry!

After lunch I headed to the Musee Beaux Arts. It was really fun! Some of their stuff, including a couple of Monets, was actually at a Monet exhibition in another museum. But they had an exhibit of Art Deco that was cool. They also had a couple of Watteau's and I'm sure other artists whose names I didn't recognize.

Then it was back to the hotel to get my suitcase and set off for the train station. I got there in plenty of time, made all my connections (three trains in all) and got to Offenburg around 10:30. I was lucky to get a taxi because my hotel was actually in the suburbs rather than town. That post is coming next!
