Reims and Epernay in the heart of Champagne are just an hour east of Paris by train or road and the region has welcomed visitors for many decades. For any lover of Champagne, the experience of seeing how the wine is made is unforgettable. A visit to Champagne will take you through the cellars of the most famous areas of the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs, up into the Vallée de la Marne and down into the up-and-coming, quieter Aube district.
