Champagne

Champagne by bike unveils its treasures! This prestigious region is an elegant blend of wine heritage and cultural riches. From quiet roads to bucolic lanes, the itineraries wind their way through hillsides and characterful villages for a total immersion in Champagne’s excellence.

The adventure begins in Reims, the majestic city of the Sacres. Its emblematic cathedral and Art Deco heritage set the tone for an exceptional journey. On to Épernay and its famous “Avenue de Champagne”, where the prestigious houses reveal their secrets. From Vertus to Hautvillers, the birthplace of bubbles where Dom Pérignon worked, the Côte des Blancs rolls out its carpet of vines as far as the eye can see.

The small country roads and vineyard paths offer breathtaking panoramas of the Champagne hillsides. The alternating Véloroute de la Vallée de la Marne and Routes Touristiques du Champagne guide cyclists to typical villages nestling in the valleys. Each diversions reveals a new picture of eternal Champagne.

Breaks are naturally organised around tastings in the prestigious cellars. The art of living in Champagne can be savoured at every stop, from local gastronomy to famous bubbles.
