Champagne • Reims • Épernay • Day trip
Champagne is one of the easiest day trips to organise from Paris. Reims is less than two hours away by road, and Épernay is half an hour from Reims. With a private chauffeur you go from cathedral to cellars to vineyards without watching train times, and nobody has to choose between driving and tasting.
From €840 in an E-Class sedan, €1,200 in a V-Class van, for 12 hours from Paris. Extra hour: €70 (sedan) / €100 (van). Tolls and parking included.
