Admire all the headquarters of major champagne producers on Avenue de Champagne, and think about over 200 million bottles stored beneath your feet. You will see on your way the vineyards of Montagne de Reims with its pretty village Hautvillers on the side of the hill. Further on, a beautiful panorama of Epernay opens up to you.
