Escape the bustle of the capital for a restorative day amid the gentle slopes and vine-lined lanes of the Champagne region. Stroll between rows of vines, breathe in the clean countryside air and take in wide, peaceful views that change with the light. In the town of Reims, explore centuries of history reflected in ornate façades and historic streets, and stand before the Cathedral of Reims with its soaring Gothic windows and richly carved stonework that captures the imagination. Discover local culinary traditions through regional dishes served in charming family-run eateries and savour the relaxed rhythm of provincial life. Throughout the day there are opportunities to learn about the winemaking heritage of the area, the unique landscape and how generations have shaped it. This is a day for discovery and relaxation: enjoy scenic drives through the countryside, photos at atmospheric viewpoints, and the chance to connect with French culture away from the city, returning to Paris refreshed and full of new impressions.
