Take a day trip from Paris and
discover the enchanting city of Reims famed for its world-class
champagnes and impressive heritage!
Preston our young and talented
sommelier will take you on a fun, informative day-trip to two champagnes houses
and to the historical Brasserie Boulingrin for lunch.
The day will start at 8.45am in
Paris where the TGV train will take you (at 350 KM/hour) to the center of the
city of Reims in about 45 mins.
Croissants and hot beverages
will be provided on the train.
After receiving some info about
the Champagne making process, you will take the tramway for a few minutes to go to
your first Champagne house visit.
You will have a guided tour in
English of ''the Crayeres'' and the private caves, where they will explain and
show you all about their personal philosophy on wine making, followed by your
first two glasses of Champagne of the day, a tasting of the most famous
Champagne of the House. We usually go to Mumm or Veuve Cliquot for the first
tasting so you get to see the most prestigious houses.
Following this tour you have
plenty of time to visit and explore the Cathedral de Reims, one of the most
famous French Cathedrals where the kings of France were once crowned.
At 1pm, Rendez vous at the
Brasserie Boulingrin for your Lunch.
A typical French 3 course menu
and a glass of Champagne awaits you.
Then at 2.30pm, it’s time for another
visit and more Champagne, our 2nd visit will be for a more artisanal Champagne
house. You will discover that Champagne can be less well known and
still very enjoyable from a smaller wine maker.
Following that visit at 4.30pm, Preston
will return with you to the train station after visiting a Gourmet shop where
you can taste some of the local pink biscuits named Biscuits de Reims (Made
with Rose water).
The train will arrive back at 6pm just in time for a relaxing evening in Paris.
