THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN FOLKS...THE BUBBLES IN WINE.
HAUTVILLERS, FRANCE (YES I KNOW, PRONOUNCED OH-VEE-AY). THE PLACE WHERE BROTHER DOM PERIGNON DID HIS BEST WORK.
A VIEW OF HAUTVILLERS WITH VINES RIGHT UP TO THE FRONT DOOR.
NOW THIS WAS INTERESTING! AS I WAS PAYING MY RESPECTS TO BROTHER DOM, WHO IS BURIED IN THE FLOOR OF THE ABBEY CHURCH, I NOTICED FOR THE FIRST TIME THE RELICS OF St HELENE, MOTHER OF CONSTANTINE THE GREAT. HOW ON EARTH DID HER BONE GET HERE? YOU PROBABLY KNOW THAT IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON FOR CHURCHS TO USE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO ATTRACT PILGRIMS. I HAVE SEEN THE SEAMLESS ROBE OF JESUS, THE RELICS OF MARY MAGDALENE, THE SHOES OF MARY, MOTHER OF JESUS, A SMALL PIECE OF THE CROSS, A NAIL FROM SAME, THE SKULL OF MARY MAGDALENE, AND LIST GOES ON...ENDED FOR NOW WITH THE RELICS OF St HELENE. BUT TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY...RIGHT SCARLET?
