I spent a life time listening to "Nobody likes the french." On my first trip to France, I went to Paris. I as usual did not go to the "Tourist" areas, I always try to experience a place as locals experience the place. I found mostly unfriendly people. However, on my second trip I landed in Paris, rented a car at Charles De Gaul Airport and drove to Reims. I checked into the Novotel. Wow! What a difference. The people were some of the nicest, friendliest, helpful and welcoming people I had met anywhere! It rivaled Wein!
The lodging was superb at a very reasonable rate. The location was perfect. And my stay was really wonderful.
