About this experience

Drive towards Epernay, the capital of Champagne, to discover the region and its unique terroir.
Option Pick-Up 2:
Pick-up from Epernay at 9:35 am in front of the Epernay Tourist Office. Pass the famous Avenue de Champagne, lined with prestigious Champagne Houses.
Option Pick-Up 3:
Pick-up from Mareuil-sur-Ay at 9:45 am at Le Clos Corbier (5 Boulevard Nicolas François Billecart, 51160 Mareuil-sur-Ay). (Minivan service is not included for this location.)
Arrive at Le Clos Corbier, where e-bikes will be ready for your Champagne countryside adventure. Ride through Premier and Grand Cru villages to reach some of Champagne’s most beautiful and remote locations.
Enjoy breathtaking views of UNESCO-listed vineyards, then visit Hautvillers, the birthplace of Champagne. Here, you’ll see the church where Dom Pérignon is buried.
Please note: No alcohol will be consumed during the bike tour itself, as drinking is prohibited while cycling. Upon your return to Le Clos Corbier, you’ll enjoy a cellar visit, champagne tasting, and an introduction to the champagne-making process.
Enjoy a traditional French lunch featuring local specialties like cheese puffs, paté-croûte, quiche, and Reims pink biscuit (adaptable for dietary needs).
Important Note: Participants must be comfortable and confident riding a bike, as e-bikes are heavier than standard bicycles. For safety reasons, we may refuse participation at departure if guests do not demonstrate sufficient cycling experience.
Drop-off is at 3:00 pm (Mareuil-sur-Ay), 3:15 pm (Epernay), and 4:00 pm (Reims)
For eco-friendly reasons, we do not provide bottled water. Remember to bring your own, which you can refill on site if needed.
It’s recommended to book your trains in advance to secure the best fares and ensure availability (trains on SNCF or Trainline). À la Française - Champagne is not responsible for any errors in train reservations or lack of trains; therefore, the tour will not be refundable for any reason.
