- Royal Champagne Road: Chapter VI - Diplomacy & Decadence After Napoleon fell, diplomats gathered to redraw the map of Europe. They spent 40 million francs on festivities while the Congress danced through 5 months of champagne-fueled negotiations. Walk the Hofburg Palace where "le Congrès ne marche pas, il danse," discover Habsburg wine culture in Heurigen taverns, then return to Versailles for the revenge: where France forced Germany to sign the Treaty of Versailles in the same Hall of Mirrors where Germany had proclaimed its empire. 4 stops · 3 days · moderate
