A cultural and gourmet escape
From royal coronations to the great Champagne Houses
Less than two hours from Paris, Champagne brings together two intertwined stories: that of France itself and that of a wine that became famous around the world. Reims, the historic city of coronations, immediately sets the tone with its Gothic cathedral, elegant streets and central place in French royal history.
Further south, Épernay embodies the refinement and culture of Champagne. Its Avenue de Champagne is lined with renowned houses above an extensive network of cellars. Between both towns, the road crosses the Montagne de Reims and vineyard landscapes that define the region’s identity.
This excursion is designed as a private day out, not as a group tour: you decide where to spend more time, according to your interests, the availability of reservations and the rhythm you would like for the day.
“A destination where heritage, landscapes and the art of living can all be discovered within a single day.”GALLIA VTC

Your day, your rhythm
The freedom of a private chauffeur
Gallia VTC does not impose the pace of a coach tour or a minute-by-minute schedule. Your chauffeur handles your private transfers, planned waiting times and reasonable programme adjustments. You keep time for the places that genuinely interest you most.
For indoor visits, tastings and activities requiring reservations, we recommend booking in advance. A licensed guide can also be arranged separately if you would like a more in-depth cultural visit.
