Reims Champagne Day Trip
Taste France's finest Champagnes and explore historic architecture with ultimate convenience.
Reims to Paris Return journey
Reims is the capital of the Champagne region, and it's located just about 90 minutes to two hours east of Paris. It's the perfect distance for a day trip, allowing you to experience the region without spending the entire day in the car.
With our private chauffeur service, your trip starts the moment you step into the car. You won't have to worry about catching a train or finding a taxi at the station. We pick you up from your Paris hotel, drive you smoothly to Reims, and take you back whenever you're ready.
Most importantly, when you have a chauffeur, you can enjoy the champagne tastings without any concerns about driving back to Paris.
What You'll See in Reims
Champagne House Visits
The main draw of Reims is the champagne. You can visit world-famous houses like Taittinger, Veuve Clicquot, Mumm, and Ruinart. You'll tour the deep chalk cellars where millions of bottles age and, of course, enjoy guided tastings.
Reims Cathedral
A masterpiece of Gothic architecture. This stunning cathedral is historically significant because it was the coronation site for dozens of French kings. The stained glass windows, including modern ones by Marc Chagall, are incredible.
Avenue de Champagne in Épernay
If you want to venture slightly further south (about 30 minutes from Reims), your chauffeur can take you to Épernay. The Avenue de Champagne is lined with the headquarters of prestigious houses like Moët & Chandon and Perrier-Jouët.
Small Family Vineyards
Enjoy a more intimate experience by visiting independent champagne producers in the villages surrounding Reims. Here, you often meet the winemakers and get a closer look at the traditional process.
