We continue to Damery, where you can visit the 12th -13th Century Church that overlooks the village and houses a painting by Watteau of the Madonna and Child (18th Century). On the way to Venteuil, you can enjoy a view of Château de Boursault. The valley trail will take you through villages between vines, fields and forests all the way to Reuil before we head back to Épernay on the other side of the Marne, for your overnight stay.
Description: Today after breakfast in your hotel you will visit the vineyards of The Côte des Blancs, which is the homeland of the Chardonnay grape. Following the Champagne Tourist Trail, we descend towards Pierry, where you can visit the 18th Century Château, storeroom and cellars, also the Chavot-Courcourt Church (12th Century), a solitary island of stone in an ocean of vines. After Cuis and its fine Romanesque Church, the trail will take you close to cliffs to reach Cramant with its oversized bottle (8.50 metres tall). Not far from Cramant is the small village of Avize, decorated in frescoes (of which many can be found in Champagne). The brightly floral Oger is not surprisingly one of the "most beautiful villages in France”. Here you can visit a museum dedicated to "Traditions, Love and Champagne”. We then return back to Épernay via Aÿ-Champagne and the Wine Museum Pressoria, which is worth a visit.
Description: After breakfast in the hotel, you say au revoir to the Champagne region. • Optional Extras 2nd Class Train Ticket: Paris Gare de l'Est – Épernay or vice versa.
