48 Hours in the Champagne Region of France (Visiting Reims & Epernay)
Plan For Me Dani
Available for hire
This is a guide for how to visit the Champagne region without a tour! There are so many group tours to the champagne region from Paris, but I strongly believed I could do it myself, and I was VERY successful. While group tours hold a lot of value for many people, I noticed group tours to champagne were quite expensive and there wasn't a lot of freedom to pick and choose what you wanted.
I created my own itinerary and we LOVED visiting this region and it was truly so easy! This will be an itinerary of what we did each day, where we stayed, where we ate and drank, and what we saw during our time in Reims & Epernay. I will also include at the end things I would do if I had more time... or should I say... WILL DO because I know we will return.
This itinerary involves taking the train from Paris but will also include other options. It includes a full day spent in Reims, France and a full day spent in Epernay. With 2 nights in a hotel in Reims. It will include a cost breakdown, where to make reservations, and some small gems we really loved!
I am also MORE than happy to consult with you about this itinerary to help you pick and choose what suits your needs.

Day 1:
First up: Get to Reims
Take the train from Paris to Reims France. We did this VERY early in the morning to give ourselves a full day here. If you have more time and flexibility obviously book the train according to your own needs. The train takes about 45 minutes to an hour and costs around 40 each way. The earlier you book train travel the cheaper it usually is. I usually use rail Europe to book trains, it is an easy site to use and has mobile tickets so you don't have any stress. You could also book at the train station. *Make sure you check which train station you will be leaving from as Paris has multiple train stations.
When you Arrive in Reims
When you arrive in Reims you can walk right from the train station into the center of town. We stayed at
Brit Hotel Aux Sacres - Reims Centre (aux sacres bar)
@planformedani
The staff at this hotel couldn't have been more accommodating. I left a pair of boots here and didn't realize until I returned to the US. They shipped them to me! I couldn't believe it! They were so thoughtful. The place was nice and clean and comfortable. It was within walking distance to everything in Reims and the train station which made for an easy day trip to Epernay as well.

There was also a REALLY nice looking hotel if you're looking for the luxury experience, it was right across from the Cathedral and looked beautiful.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Plan For Me Dani

My name is Danielle and I have been planning trips for the past 10 years.
One thing special and unique about my guides is that I am not producing guides that I didn't currently use myself. The places in my guides are places I have been, the itineraries are itineraries that I have personally followed. Everything is real and I have vetted myself.
My travel planning story started with a honeymoon to Italy and since then it has grown each and every year. I love all kinds of travel! It's hard to fine a niche because I fit into so many categories. I love nature, hiking, and being outdoors. I love beaches and sunsets and sipping wine and cocktails in pretty places. I love learning about people and cultures and history. I love street art and busy cities and I also love small towns and quieter places. I will sleep in a hostel and I enjoy a beautiful hotel. I love South and Central America and I am obsessed with Europe. I've been to Asia twice and hope to get back in the next few years. I love to eat and one thing you'll always get from me are true and great reviews of places that I've personally eaten! I have just returned from Albania and I am working on guides from that trip!
My full time job is as a School Leader of Social and Emotional Learning in Philadelphia. All my travel is done on school breaks and in the summer. I have still managed to visit over 36 countries and countless cities along the way. Being a teacher my whole life is about planning and I do believe I am exceptional at it. I work VERY hard to plan incredible trips and now you can hopefully benefit from that as well!
