Begin your day with a pickup from your guide in Paris. Settle into a comfortable van and relax as you travel through the rolling countryside toward Épernay, the capital of Champagne.
Descend 30 meters underground by panoramic lift and board the famous little train to explore Mercier's 18 km of cellars. Admire the sculpted bas-reliefs and resting bottles, then enjoy a sommelier-led tasting of Mercier's celebrated cuvées.
A scenic drive will then bring you to Reims, the historic city of royal coronations.
