My daughter and I went on a one day champagne tour excursion from Paris. Just 8 people were in the group, all English speakers. We had a French tour guide who did a wonderful job translating from French to English as we were shown the property and guided through the process of champagne making by the owner Stephane. We had a wonderful time in his tasting room as well. A kind and unassuming gentleman, this champagne master was a wonderful host. As others have mentioned, he does not currently ship outside of France but we were able to purchase a few bottles there. The trip was a delight and a real highlight of our two weeks in France.

A lovely little spot for quite a nice champagne. We tasted and then purchased a 2015 vintage blanc de noirs. It felt like being in someone’s house. It was slightly awkward being just two of us for the tasting but of course a little champagne relieves the tension. In nicer weather it would be fun to sit outside.

As we walked Avenue de Champagne we first ran in to Moet Chandon & reserved an afternoon tour & tasting. We then continued on looking at all of the houses & trying to determine where we may want to stop for a tasting. As we made our way to nearly the end of the Avenue we spotted Elodie D. We saw several patrons sitting in a lovely (not to formal) garden. We went in to check it out & like everyone else's comments we were delighted by stories of this champagne house & it's history of being in one family for generations & for the last 4 generations has been run by the women in the family. Fabrice (the husband/co-owner) was friendly & informative of the region & of their vineyards & wine growing production. He told us about each of their most popular vintages so we settled in with a delicious charcuterie tray & a few glasses of champagne. We spent a lovely 2 hours sipping, eating & chatting with Fabrice. We LOVED their champagne & their hospitality. Highly recommended so keep walking down the avenue until you find it. Worth the walk.

After seeing the big cathedral in the center, one would think that there is nothing else to see but this basilica is worth it. For special occasions they organize pipe organ concerts

This is a stunning cathedral! It’s amazing, intricate, beautiful and awe inspiring from the outside and dramatic and breath taking from the inside. It’s sheer size and height is amazing and I’ve never seen such a wonderful set of stain glass windows ranging from the very old to ultra modern contemporary. It has a fascinating history and of course don’t miss the statue if the smiling angel. Now one of my favourite Cathedrals! .... and returning after dark (in summer) you can be treated to a superb light show projected onto front of Cathedral ... fantastic! Well done Reims.

Less severe than many cathedrals in France this is well worth a visit.You need time to enjoy the stained glass and the peace and tranquility of the surroundings. Suggest you visit here first before getting involved in Champagne tasting !

Definitely worth stopping by this church to see the architecture and stained glass windows. There are explanations in English about the different glass window panels, which definitely contributes to better understanding of their historical significance! There's also a lovely peaceful garden beside the church that make for a delightful overall visit!

Called the Circuit de Reims-Gueux, this old road racing circuit is situated just outside the pretty village of Gueux, to the west of Reims on the Route Touristique de Champagne. The circuit saw it's heyday in the 50's and 60's with both 12 hour endurance races and 14 Formula 1 Grand Prix's. Indeed it's debut in Formula 1 was during the inaugural World Championship year in 1950. In 1954, Jaguar gained a 1,2,3 in the 12 hour race with a maiden victory for the D Type.

Great place to visit and just west from Reims. Unfortunately the complete circuit can't be navigated anymore but the start finish area with grandstands, pit building and tower certainly make up for that.
