What to do around Reims? Champagne vineyards, heritage, hiking and unspoiled nature
The indescribable Champagne,
If its name resonates in the ears of the entire world, it is because Champagne is above all a high place in the history of France: Clovis, Joan of Arc, Dom Pérignon, De Gaulle, La Veuve Cliquot, Arnaud Lallement... The region is full of talents who came here to write a small part of history, gastronomy, and oenology. It will not fail to amaze and surprise you!
We come to Champagne as we go to Lascaux, above all to visit the subterranean splendor... The Champagne cellars , classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site , are a treasure that hides another. This labyrinthine marvel where vintages with legendary names silently mature stretches over several hundred cumulative kilometers.
Moët & Chandon , Krug , Mumm , Veuve Cliquot , Pommery , if these names don't yet ring a bell in your ears, they will soon.
Off the beaten track, you can also discover and appreciate the many varieties of champagnes produced by authentic, passionate winemakers who, through their art, express a lifetime dedicated to the vine.
