After our fun in the champagne region, we drove to Verdun, France where we spent a week seeing WWI sites and learning more about that war. It rained quite a bit on us which seemed to add to the depressing atmosphere of the region. There was a heaviness to this area that is difficult to explain, but it is as if they have never quite recovered from the war. It was a very interesting trip and we are glad we did it, but it is not a place we are anxious to return to (the first place in France we've said that).
