Let Champagne show you the way
In Champagne, set out on a journey filled with unforgettable flavours, to experience on foot, by bike…or even by hot-air balloon!
Get away from it all and follow the Champagne Road, taking you to the outstanding cellars and prestigious hillsides inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Sample the nectar of kings in the heart of the vineyards and treat yourself to a real showstopper – a balloon ride with unrestricted views over Épernay and its famous Avenue de Champagne.
Get to know the region’s winegrowers and Champagne Houses
Champagne’s hillsides provide the setting for the magnificent manor houses and wine cellars that cradled a knowhow unmatched anywhere else in the world. Set off in the company of dedicated professionals to find out more about these Champagne Houses and their prestigious cuvees. Master the art of wine tasting, treat yourself to an oenology class, or uncover the secret of Champagne in the depths of its cellars.
In the blue of the Great Lakes
A getaway combining small, revitalising pleasures and real excitement in totally unspoilt natural surroundings – how does that sound? Well then, head for Champagne’s reservoir lakes where water sports, bathing, camping and ecotourism outings are all on the menu in abundance in lush green settings. While in the Forêt d’Orient Nature Park and Pays de Langres and on the shores of Lake Der-Chantecoq, the favourite pastime is dreaming the day away to the lapping of the water.
Linger a while in
Champagne’s most
beautiful towns
Champagne’s most illustrious cities open their gates to you for an urban weekend combining shopping, heritage visits, encounters with dedicated craftspeople and a wealth of high-spirited events. From royal Reims to Langres’ and Troyes’ fine Renaissance houses, by way of Châlons-en-Champagne aka “Sparkling Venice”, every street corner has a surprise in store for you.
Would you like a little Champagne?
At the confluence of three départements, Champagne takes on a new look at every stage of your stay, without ever abandoning its fabled hillsides as a common thread.
Home to the coronation of the Kings of France, Marne and its outstanding heritage are on no account to be missed out on during your stay in Champagne. In addition to its emblematic towns, nature is omnipresent there, with the Forest of Argonne as her flagship! Further south, follow in General de Gaulle’s footsteps in Haute-Marne and stop off in Langres, the biggest fortified enclosure in Europe.
Aube’s Champagne vineyards, half-timbered houses, Route du Vitrail (Stained-Glass Road) and Forêt d'Orient Regional Nature Park make it a destination of character par excellence, to explore under the banner of slow tourism.
