The Champagne area is a destination of choice for wine tourism lovers. If this describes you, don’t delay: come and visit great champagne houses, discover independent winegrowers and enjoy delicious tastings. This is the key to discovering the secrets of champagne production.

Pick up from Paris or Reims

As mentionned, Sparkling Tour can pick you up in Paris as part of your package tour to Reims.  However, if you prefer, we can meet you in Reims instead – at your hotel, or at the train station.

Otherwise, you can come to the Champagne area onboard the high-speed train (TGV). In this case, the journey will last 45 minutes, taking a direct train departing from Paris Est station. Taking the bus is the last option; we recommend Flixbus and Ouibus companies.

You can visit Reims and its beautiful city center with the Drouet-d’Erlon square, the cathedral and the Palais du Tau. The city is home to many other museums, which may be of interest to you, for example: the automobile museum, the fine arts museum and the planetarium.

Checking out Epernay and walking along its famous Champagne Avenue are undoubtedly must-see activities. Of course, we suggest that you visit at least one great champagne house to discover the secrets of champagne making but also to proceed to champagne tastings in France.
