Join Us in France Travel Podcast In this episode Elyse takes us on a trip to the wonderful world of Champagne. She tells us about the history of the Champagne Region  (part of the "Grand Est" Region in France) and how monasteries played a big part in it. There were some lucky breaks and the English helped things along. Dom Perignon is the one who came up with a great solution to an age-old problem, and thankfully, we all benefit today.  A consommer avec modération, most of the time anyway.

In today's episode Elyse gives us a free Notre Dame audio tour. In this audio tour she points out all the things that many people walk right by without seeing them because they didn't know what they should pay attention to. A large Cathedral such as Notre Dame can be overwhelming, but Elyse can be right in your ear letting you know where to look so you can see the stunning beauty for yourself. Elyse has been to Notre Dame (and other Cathedrals of the same caliber) hundreds of times. She can help you cut right through to the important stuff. Click here for show notes and photos.

Join Us in France Travel Podcast In today's episode, Elyse tells us about the architecture of Notre Dame in Paris. She explains the architectural innovations that were tried for the first time at Notre Dame (construction started in 1163), the art you will see at Notre Dame, the function of stained glass windows, the architectural purpose of chimeras and gargoyles, and many things about medieval architecture where we probably would benefit from a short refresher before going to visit this magnificent church. Many medieval visitors were illiterate, but back then, they knew how to read the statues and stained-glass windows they saw in Cathedrals. Most of us have lost this knowledge today, this episode is also a quick course in how to read a cathedral by looking at the art and the architecture.
