Aurelian was very informative and gave us a fabulous tour of the cathedral at Reims and its historical significance. He also gave us some insight to the lesser known landmarks including ‘the Mary Poppins’ bank and the Pink shop, plus highlighting connections that Walt Disney had with Reims and where he took some of his inspiration for a number of his movies. Very entertaining.
