La Champagne

Rolling hills lined with vineyards, medieval towns, and family-run cellars create a landscape that feels both refined and down-to-earth.

 

In Reims, the soaring cathedral once hosted the coronation of French kings; nearby, some of the world’s most famous champagne houses welcome visitors into their underground chalk cellars. Yet just as memorable are the smaller producers, eager to share a glass and their passion.

​

Life in Champagne moves at a gentle pace. You might cycle through vine-covered valleys, linger over a long lunch of local specialties paired with sparkling wine, or drift above the vineyards in a hot-air balloon. It’s a region of elegance, but also of warmth and authenticity.

​

​

Best of all, it’s incredibly close: just 45 minutes by high-speed train from Paris, around 2 hours by car, or a quick flight from other European hubs. That makes Champagne an easy escape—yet once you arrive, the everyday world feels far away.
