Epernay is at the heart of the world's most prestigious vineyards…

20,000 hectares of vineyards stretch all around you, whilst under your feet lie 200 million bottles of champagne ageing in 120 kilometres of cellars carved out of the chalk soil over hundreds of years.

The most famous champagne producers amongst the many grand houses and mansions lining the Avenue de Champagne allow Epernay justly to lay claim to the coveted title of the Capital of Champagne.

Other noble buildings such as the Gabrielle-Dorziat theatre lend charm and grandeur to the town.

Outside Epernay the Route Touristique de Champagne winds around the town offering you a succession of friendly cellars, chateaux, roman churches and villages bedecked with flowers, all afloat in a sea of vines, to ensure that whatever the time of year, there's always a new pleasure to be found.

Nowhere else can you better discover, understand and learn to love the tiny bubbles that are synonymous with joy and happiness…

CHAMPAGNE !
