Between Paris and Epernay: Champagne cycling

This trip is a tour-cycling classic that not only allows guests to explore the world-famous city of Paris, but also the Champagne region. The route along the beautiful Marne River is mouth-watering: the best wines and champagnes as well as the famous Brie cheeses are produced in this region. The delicious sparkling wines are the only ones in the world entitled to bear the name ‘Champagne’. Besides the relaxing wine activities, the tour includes the use of e-bikes, making the daily cycling distances of 30 to 50 kilometres (18-30 miles) easily manageable, even when the country roads are rough or hilly.
