## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- Most small-group champagne tours from Reims visit unnamed family growers, not the great houses; the houses on the Saint-Nicaise hill (Ruinart, Veuve Clicquot, Pommery, Taittinger) sell their own cellar visits.
- The GetYourGuide morning tour t220971 still has 'taittinger' in its URL; its operator describes two family-run wineries and no big house.
- Tours meet at Reims Centre station (Cour de la Gare), not Champagne-Ardenne TGV station, 8 km outside the city.
- Veuve Clicquot's visitor centre is at 1 rue Albert Thomas, Reims, and closes in winter.
- Pol Roger in Epernay does not take public visits.
- The German surrender at Reims was signed on 7 May 1945 (effective 8 May).
