7-day Luxury Barge Tour in Champagne region

Champagne (with or wthout Chocolate tasting) barge cruise from Château-Thierry to Reims on the Marne river and canal. An enchanting journey between beauty, history and vineyards, with daily tastings of champagne, great food on board and a variety of options which the guests (6 on board in 3 cabins) may select from. Visit cathedrals and wine cellars or WWI memorials. Take your time and enjoy your canal cruise on the sundeck. Explore the region in the afternoon on your guided minibus tour. Finish the day with a sumptuous dinner on board.

The Champagne region is full of delicious contrasts. On one hand there’s the drink; that gold-hued, sparkling elixir eternally associated with decadence and luxury. Then there’s the countryside; 86,000 acres of sleepy, undulating hills striped with low-slung trestled vines of pinot-noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay grapes. They are tended to by families whose members are far more likely to greet you with fresh mud on their boots than adhere to the glamour their champagnes inspire. And in the valley is the meandering river Marne which gives the region it’s fertile soil.
