Michael Portillo travels from the chateaux of the Loire Valley to the heart of the Champagne region at Reims, beginning in the city of Orleans in north-central France. Here, he follows his Bradshaw's guide to the magnificent stained-glass windows of the Cathedral of Sainte-Croix, which tell the story of the heroine of France, Joan of Arc. Later, Michael takes a spin around the track at Le Mans in a French-built car, before making his way to the capital city of Paris. East of Paris, Michael finishes this leg of his journey in style with a tour of the cellars at Domaine Pommery in Reims
