WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN CYCLING IN CHAMPAGNE

In the North East of France lies the iconic Champagne region. With a rich history dating back to the Carolingians, there is a wealth of things to do, see, and taste.

Our Champagne cycling tours will take you to grand cathedral cities and charming canal-side towns, nestled between vineyards producing some of the most famous wine in France. Epernay, Reims, and Châlons-en-Champagne are the most lively towns in the region, so a visit is made to all of them on our cycling holidays in Champagne, via a network of country roads and cycle paths.

The wine here has seen continuous innovation since the Middle Ages, with wine houses dating back generations in a family. A Champagne cycling holiday would not be complete without experiencing one of these tours, tasting wine and exploring how it’s made.
