1) Reims Cathedral

Enter the cathedral to see the stunning stained glass windows designed by Marc Chagall.

Fun Fact: Every French king was crowned in this cathedral from the 13th century

2) Champagne House: Pommery & Vranken

First visit the Villa Demoiselle, a house with Art Nouveau & Art Deco styles where you can taste a glass of champagne of Vranken Cuvée Diamond. After the Villa, you’ll go into the Pommery cellars where you can enjoy an art exhibition at all times (ánd that changes from time to time). At the end of your tour, you get to taste a glass of champagne of Pommery Rosé Royale.

3) Palace of Tau

The Palace of Tau lies next to the cathedral but was unfortunately closed when we were there. The Palace of Tau hols the cathedral’s treasury and is also the place where the king would get his robes for the coronation.

4) Perching Bar (treehouse)

Have a glass of champagne high up between trees! Perching bar gives a unique setting to taste champagne. Want more adventure? Go on the adventure tour before you drink champagne (don’t drink and climb).

Go check out the 600 km long Champagne Trail when in Reims. Take the scenic route to discover small producers and big producers. We wanted to visit a Champagne producer where you can see the underground caves but decided not to do so. That’s for another time!
