Champagne-Ardennes

The sacred triangle between Epernay, Reims and Chalons-en-Champagne is a magnet for wine lovers. There is nowhere better in the world to ‘visitee les caves’. Many are by invitation but ask your hotel to book you a place, some like Taittinger and Piper Heidsieck have public opening times every day and provide a fascinating tour of the roman chalk caves, the process of champagne making and end with a tasting – what could be better? Reims Cathedral is a must for culture lovers and other historic sites can be found in L’Epine and Troyes. To the north, the Ardennes attracts walkers and nature-lovers and the canal can be explored by barge or pleasure boat.
