This is part of the interior Abbaye d'Hautvilles also know as St. Peter's Abbey in English.
After you land in Paris, consider taking a trip to Champagne country over to Hautvillers. This beautiful village, nestled on a hillside, will take you back to a quieter time in life. You'll encounter some cobblestone streets, delightful restaurants, as well as breathtaking vistas of the acres and acres of vineyards, many of which become part of prestigious winemakers.

Here you can also visit the grave of Dom Perignon. He was was a Benedictine monk at the local abbey, Abbaye Saint-Pierre d’Hautvillers. He had a key influence on the art of making Champagne, especially in conquering the dilemma in the fermentation process which would cause bottles to explode. When When Pérignon died in 1715, as a sign of honor and respect, he was buried in a section of the abbey cemetery traditionally reserved only for abbots.

I had a splendid time while there spending time walking around viewing the vineyards and the busy-ness of the workers who were harvesting grapes since it was September when I was there. This is part of the interior of St Peter's Abbey with the magnificent wool carved benches .. We stayed at an ABNB owned by a champagne maker with a courtyard . It was close to some charming restaurants .. The calm peacefullness of the village was a great way to start our 3 week trip in France.
