Champagne breaks
There’s something in Epernay for all tastes.
Bubbles and bikes
The Reims to Epernay cycling route is known as the Champagne route. With four days of cycling along vine-lined routes and the natural regional parc following the river Marne, the CH4 operated by Biking France is perhaps the most virtuous way to see the sparkling wine region. biking-france.com
From Paris to Epernay in a day
The city of lights and the Champagne capital share many links, and one of them is a TGV rail service. The high-speed train allows visitors to go from enjoying a champagne breakfast in Paris to digesting a tour on oenology in the winemakers’ cellars. From consumer to source is only a 90-minute journey. en.ot-epernay.com
Sparkling display in Epernay
The Champagne city hosts its annual light festival Les Habits de Lumiere in December. With projections, light sculptures and an array of champagne-themed events the town puts on sparkling programme for visitors. Spanning three days, the winter festival is a great time to see the town outside the peak summer season.
