Your private chauffeur will pick you up at your hotel or residence and transport you to the gates of the Reims Cathedral of Notre Dame, where your guide will be waiting to unveil some enchanting historical.
First Discovery
Reims UNESCO Discovery
You’ll be immediately impressed by the Reims Cathedral of Notre Dame; it’s recognised as one of France’s finest cathedrals. Notre Dame is translated to mean ‘Our Lady’. Step back in history and discover some of the clandestine secrets that the twice-awarded UNESCO rated place of worship has cleverly concealed for centuries. You’ll immediately recognise the landmark by its twin bell towers and exquisite rose stained-glass window. Imagine the lavishness of a French royal coronation and the pomp and ceremony that prevailed throughout its rich and varied history. Continue to Palais of Tau, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Imagine the resplendent celebrations that announced French princes to be the new King of France. Once the archbishop’s residence is it now a museum. Why not seek out St Rémi’s golden, gem-encrusted chalice, which dates from the 12th century?
Second Discovery
Tasting at a Private Champagne Vineyard
Relish the experience and discover the delicate and subtle flavours of the Champagne region of France. Lose yourself in the ancient vineyards that are cocooned by the rolling hills of the Route du Champagne. Your guide will fascinate you with his stories of the Champagne industry as you sip on the icy cold drink. You’ll gain incredible insights into the Champagne-making processes from vine to glass. Explore the Manceaux estate and its cool cellars and begin to understand the complexities of making Champagne, understand the grapes used, and delve into the fascinating traditions and biodiversity of the estate that has been home to five generations. Champagne Manceaux is known to be one of the finest in the region.
At the end of your bubbly day, your chauffeur will collect you from the Manceaux estate and drop you off at your hotel or residence.
