The Champagne Wine Trail: Visit Reims Cathedral or the old city of Troyes, enjoy a gourmet lunch or dinner in a charming village and of course sample lots of different champagnes! Almost all of the major producers offer informative guided tours of their impressive cellars. And you will also have the pleasure of meeting numerous smaller producers who will offer you a sparkling welcome and whose wines are often very good indeed, and much less expensive than those of the major producers….

The vineyards of the Champagne region start less than 200 kilometres north-east of Paris, which (if you're in Paris already) makes them a good place to go to for a weekend stay, or even just for the day.
You'll explore a region full of charm, visit the magnificent cathedral in Reims and meet some of the producers of the world-famous wine that we call champagne...
Champagne is a wine which is famed throughout the world: with its 34,000 hectares given over to vines the Champagne region produces 10% of all French wines, but provides a quarter of all exports of the precious liquid. Often associated with prestigious marques (such as Veuve Clicquot, Moët et Chandon, Ruinart, Krug, Pommery, Dom Pérignon and a host of others…) it has for many years been an integral part of celebrations, weddings, baptisms and banquets.
