They also boast a rich history and architecture. This region keeps its secrets well hidden and offers them generously only to those who take the trouble to go exploring. This Collection also takes you to the unique city of Reims and its cathedral, the most beautiful and important in France.
To complete your adventure, you can go on a Tour of the Marne Valley following its canals, river and charming villages. With a total of approximately kilometres mi spread over six stages, this itinerary is accessible to all bike touring adventurers. Some sections are on roads and some are perfectly suited to gravel riding.
The Champagne region is located in the north of the country, so cycling during the winter months is quite challenging. Spring, summer and especially autumn are the best times to see the grape harvest, the magnificent beech forests of the Montagne de Reims and the golden vineyards. Because of its proximity to Paris, this small town is very well served by rail.
This can be a good way to taste excellent Champagnes and learn more about this particular wine making process. I wish you good health, good travels and good Champagne! Ready to get going?
