What are the best options for an Alsace & Champagne holiday?
Sparkling in more ways that one, Champagne - land of France's most famous fizz - is a world-renowned winemaking region in the north-east of the country where you can spend your days wandering through vineyards, touring cellars and whizzing through the countryside on an E-Bike. For a glamorous and eco-friendly getaway washed down with plenty of bubbly, luxury holidays to Champagne are a real winner.
Easily accessible by train from Paris and perfectly suited to a stunning self-drive trip, Champagne is brimming with stylish cities, sleepy villages and, of course, countless cellars and vineyards to explore. After days spent weaving your way around this peaceful province, rest your head in a luxury hotel with vineyard views or bag yourself a cabin aboard a stylish barge for nights spent bobbing along a canal.
For a hit of culture, head to Reims, a lively university town with a handful of Michelin-starred restaurants and a gorgeous Gothic cathedral. Alternatively, if you fancy yourself a serious sommelier, head to one of the smaller producers to learn about how Champagne is produced and witness the process from grape to bottle taking place onsite.
