Spend a day in the heart of the Champagne region, a short journey east of Paris. Reims is dominated by Notre-Dame de Reims, a spectacular Gothic cathedral whose façades and stained glass tell centuries of French history, from early baptisms to coronations and moments linked to Joan of Arc. The compact historic centre invites leisurely exploration: stroll through elegant squares, examine archaeological traces at Place du Forum and admire the striking art deco façades that rose as the city rebuilt itself after the First World War.
Later you will visit the remarkable subterranean world beneath Pommery, where long, cool tunnels cut into Gallo-Roman chalk reveal the scale and tradition of champagne maturation. The galleries, carved and maintained over generations, offer a sense of winemaking heritage and the practical ingenuity required to age sparkling wine. After a full day of architecture, history and underground passages, the route returns toward Paris, leaving time to reflect on the region’s unique landscape and cultural legacy. Flexible private options are available to tailor the programme and extend your exploration to neighbouring towns and estates.
