So Close to Paris and Much More Affordable!
Did you know, it’s faster to get from Paris Charles de Gaulle airport to the Champagne region, than it is to go from the airport to the city centre of Paris!
Instead of staying in Paris (and paying top dollar), why not base yourself in the Champagne region and plan some day trips to Paris instead. With some very affordable accommodation, restaurants etc. it would be a shame to miss out on the opportunity of combining both the Champagne region and the city of Paris during your romantic vacation in France.
The Champagne region is in the Northeast of France, located around 150 kilometres drive from Paris and just over 100 kilometres (one hour) from Disneyland Paris. It is easily accessed by plane, train and by car.
In the heart of the vineyards, the Capital of Champagne Epernay enjoys an exceptional location. It is only 1h30 from Paris and Belgium, and 3h from Germany and England. Located in the centre of 34,000 hectares of vineyards, it is also 27 km from Reims, 31 km from Châlons-en-Champagne and 48 km from Château-Thierry.
There are many easy ways to come and visit our beautiful region!
