Boat Ride on the Mau
Nicknamed the “sparkling Venice,” Châlons-en-Champagne is best explored along the water. Aboard a boat, a storytelling guide travels up the Mau and the Nau, glides beneath the old bridges and plunges into an underground gallery several hundred metres long before emerging onto the Petit Jard. Three routes to choose from, including a night-time sound-and-light show, […]
Museum of Champagne Wine and Regional Archaeology
Housed in the Château Perrier on the famous Avenue de Champagne, this museum unfolds the history of the Champagne terroir, from the formation of the soil to the posters of the Belle Époque. Celtic ornaments, Gallo-Roman pottery, winegrowers’ tools and interactive displays: two thousand objects to understand where Champagne comes from.
Reims Cathedral
The cathedral of the coronations deserves to be admired head held high: a façade chiselled like stone lace, a rose window nearly thirteen metres across, and 249 steps to reach the towers and take in Reims at a glance. Allow a good hour, more if the Smiling Angel holds you there.
The Linden Loop
A 5 km loop starting from the village, two hours’ walk at a gentle pace. The trail slips into the forest, where the plantations shift in species and age from one plot to the next. Pleasant year-round, it’s at its best in autumn.

Vineyard Loges Trail in Trépail
In Trépail, the Loges de Vigne trail sets off from the village and winds through vineyards planted mainly with Chardonnay, where the loges nestle: these small stone, wood or brick huts posted at the edge of the plots, a reminder of the daily life of winegrowers in times past. Along the 5.2 km route, interpretive […]
Trépail: a village tale
Set off to discover Trépail through its winding lanes. The winegrowers’ houses, old façades and glimpses out over the vineyards reveal the soul of the village and the life that has unfolded here for generations. A short, easy stroll just steps from Pré en Bulles, to savour the quiet charm of this Champagne village.
Forêt Royale Trail (PR 48)
A 9.4 km loop (about 2h30) starting just 50 metres from Pré en Bulles. The trail climbs into the forest of the Montagne de Reims and passes nearly a thousand Faux de Verzy: these twisted, otherworldly beech trees, unique in the world, whose secret scientists are still trying to unravel. Along the way, vines and […]
Pressoria
Sensory museum set in a former Pommery pressing centre. A multi-sensory journey to understand the whole world of Champagne, from terroir to glass, without promoting any single brand. Designed for the whole family, tasting included.
La Cave aux Coquillages
A geological site unique in Europe. Beneath his own vineyards, a winegrower uncovered a perfectly preserved layer of 45-million-year-old marine fossils. The visit blends geology, terroir and a tasting of his Champagne, told with passion by the discoverer himself.
