Champagne Itinerary: Paris - Cumieres/Epernay -- Click map to enlarge |
Vineyards spread across the rolling plains as far as the eye can see, green with the new leaves of Spring, turning to gold as the grapes ripen in the Autumn. The region is rich in both modern and ancient history and during your voyage you visit such landmarks as Château Thierry and the Cathedral of Reims.
There will be plenty the opportunity to sample the sparkling wine to which the region has given its name, including a private tasting in the vast cellars of Moët et Chandon. As well as champagne, the region is rich in other delicious products, particularly its wonderfully creamy cheeses, with the towns of Meaux and Coulommiers at its heart.

- Cruise through Paris past the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame
