Le Mag

A night at Château de Sacy, a haven of tranquillity

In the heart of the vineyards, just a few minutes from Reims, this place steeped in history and elegance offers much more than a stay: it's a true immersion in the art of living in the Champagne region. Each room, delicately named Nuit de Miel, Madame de Pompadour, Valse Pétillante or Marie-Antoinette, immerses you in the history of the Champagne region. Behind each door, a refined décor features antique furniture set against modern colours for nights out of time. The gastronomic restaurant welcomes you to an exceptional setting in the midst of the vineyards of the Montagne de Reims. The room is bathed in light, the tables are set with discreet elegance and the view over the wine-growing hills is breathtaking. The menu features regional cuisine reinterpreted by chef Guillaume Diether, accompanied by a wide selection of wines and champagnes.

A special treat: the château also boasts an intimate wellness area with sauna, Nordic spa and treatment rooms.

Immersive visit to the Château de Pierry

Just outside Reims is the Château de Pierry, built in 1734 by Monseigneur de Choiseul-Beaupré, bishop-count of Châlons-en-Champagne. The 18th-century architectural style is immediately apparent on entering. The rooms are decorated in the Louis XV style, with our footsteps crunching on the precious wooden floors, admiring the refined mouldings and period furniture. The tour continues in the Galerie des Rois de France, where 70 portraits are on display, transporting us centuries back in time. Here, each room is adorned with crystal chandeliers and imposing fireplaces, creating a unique atmosphere that is both warm and historic. Then it's off to the outside, where the soothing atmosphere envelops us: we finally stroll through the English-style gardens through groves and flowerbeds to relax.

And that's not all: the château also offers a tour of the underground cellars to discover the champagnes it houses.

Your dream holiday in Champagne

A bucolic stroll around the Château de Cormicy

At the heart of an elegant Champagne estate, in the charming village of Cormicy, stands the château of the same name. Once through the wrought iron gates, the elegant curves of the building are revealed. This imposing, welcoming residence perfectly reflects the traditional architecture of the region. As a wine tourism site, an events venue and an exceptional place to stay, the estate is an invitation to let go and contemplate. The château has 6 bedrooms, and the estate offers 2 other self-catering accommodations: the Écuries gîte, inspired by nature's bounty, and the Cabane Adrian, a pavilion with a retro-chic feel. After a restful night's sleep in one of these unique accommodations, you can enjoy a relaxing early-morning stroll among the remarkable two-hundred-year-old trees.

Brand new: in 2020, the château will be given a facelift, adopting a style that blends the heritage of the past with the modernity of today.
