SHORT BREAK
The city of Reims has a special place in the history of France, and not just as the home of Champagne, although this is obviously their most famous export. We will experience everything the region has to offer visiting two of the most famous cellars known around the world. We also spend time in Epernay, home to some of the finest Champagne houses. The Avenue du Champagne is often referred to as the most expensive avenue in the world, due to the amount of Champagne stored beneath it in cellars.

Our night time tour is followed by a 1-hour circular cruise on the River Seine to soak up beautiful buildings from the water. (We recommend the start time/order is amended depending upon the time of year and sunset. For summer, it may be better for you to bring guests into Paris for dinner at leisure and commence the tour after dinner).

We start the day in Reims where we are joined by a local tour guide for a guided walking tour of the city.

Our guide will bring to life the city of Reims and all the fascinating history.
