Champagne-ArdenneThe home of Champagne – the wine synonymous with celebration – could only be welcoming. Accept its invitation to feast your eyes and taste buds!

The baptism of Clovis in Rheims, a key event in the history of Champagne-Ardenne, launched a long-lasting tradition of anointing the kings of France in the city. Rheims was made famous by its cathedral, included on the Unesco World Heritage list – as are the Palais de Tau and the Saint-Rémi basilica and museum, monuments that stand with a large number of Norman buildings and the region's imposing fortified constructions. This wealth of architectural heritage is enhanced by natural surroundings that are just perfect for active leisure pursuits – whether on foot, by bicycle or on the water of the great lakes. A large number of special circuits have been put in place to let you enjoy the environment to the full! What's more, Champagne-Ardenne has a real gift for fine food: Ardennes ham, Rethel boudin blanc, Haute-Marne truffles and Langres and Chaource cheeses are just some of the items on the mouth-watering list of local produce: try them in one of the region's 350 restaurants!
