The Champagne vineyard



The Champagne vineyard is a French vineyard located on the territory of the former province of Champagne. It extends mainly in the Grand Est region (Aube, Marne), but also in the neighbouring departments of Aisne and Seine-et-Marne, partly from this province.
The best-known wine from this large wine-growing region is the renowned vin de Champagne (or simply champagne). However, the Champagne region does not only produce Champagne wine, but also more classic wines such as the rosé from Les Riceys, or red, white and rosé wines, which used to be called "vins nature de Champagne" and which since 1974, when the AOC label was obtained, are called coteaux-champenois.

Avenue de Champagne in Epernay



The Avenue de Champagne is one of the main roads in the town of Epernay, often considered its "most prestigious road". It is indeed the seat of several great Champagne houses, including Moët & Chandon and Perrier-Jouët, which have played a major role in the history of Epernay.
It is thus a "remarkable site of taste".

The cathedral of Reims



Notre Dame de Reims Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Reims, in the French department of Marne in the Grand Est region. It is known for having been, from the 11th century, the place of almost all the coronations of the kings of France.
The construction of the current building began in the early 13th century. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, Reims Cathedral was completed in the 14th century. It was destroyed by a devastating fire during the First World War caused by German bombing.
It is one of the major achievements of Gothic art in France, both for its architecture and for its statuary, which includes 2,303 statues. As such, it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991. A major tourist attraction in the Champagne region, it welcomed 1,500,000 visitors in 2007.

Hautvillers



THE CRADLE OF CHAMPAGNE Hautvillers offers a superb and unlimited view of the sea of vines that floods the hillside.
This is not its only attraction. The memory of Dom Pérignon hovers over this village whose picturesque streets and wrought iron trade signs, gourmet areas and champagne producers are a delight to visitors.
