It is safe to say that Champagne from Champagne (the only true version of the beverage) is the drink most associated with luxury and success. From Formula One drivers dousing everybody in sight after a victory, to toasting a major milestone in life, there is something inescapably alluring about the name. The province sits northwest of Paris in northern France, and well within easy access of the French capital on a delightful Champagne day trip, especially if you take a tour and let somebody else be the designated driver.

Now, I know some would argue this, but for me, champagne is the best drink in the sparkling world. Why? In a word, exclusivity.

Champagne is produced exclusively in the Champagne region of France and is a legally protected name, meaning that only sparkling wine from this region can be labelled as “champagne.”

And there are plenty of famous champagne houses and brands to choose from.

Not to mention champagne has also been associated with royalty and aristocracy since the 17th century, enhancing its appeal and status as a premium product. And, the act of popping a champagne cork has become a global gesture of fun, festivity and celebration.

V - Child Policy

All reservations made for children under the age of 18 years old must be made by an adult and we must be informed at the time of booking exactly how many children are in your party and their ages. This is vital information as it allows our guide to prepare the proper child sized equipments for the bike tours and the booster seats for all day trips/excursions that use one of our vans. All reservations made for a minor under the age of 18 years old must also include the reservation for an adult who will be 100% solely responsible for the safety and well being of the child while on the tour. Every child, under the age of 12 years old, partaking in a bicycle tour will be required to wear a helmet and a reflective vest as per French Law. The adult who accompanies the child agrees to the responsibility of choosing a properly sized helmet, adjusting the helmet, and keeping the helmet on the head of the child during the whole tour. Blue Fox Travel has helmets in multiple sizes for you to choose from at no cost. Don't forget: Children who will be riding in a baby/child seat, on a tandem attachment bike, or in a booster seat in one of our vans absolutely MUST have their seat reserved beforehand.

We own 20” and 24” kids bikes (size of the wheel). Adult bikes are 26”. If the guide, or manager, finds that the child is not, for any reason, a good enough cyclist then the guide, or manager, has the right to refuse to let the child follow the tour on a personal bike. This means they will either be asked to ride on one of our ‘tandem attachments’ which is attached to the back of a parents bike OR asked to ride in a child seat attached to the back of a parents bike. If the child refuses the change, then the guide or manager has the right to cancel the reservation, and not allow you and your child on the bike tour. Refunds will not be issued if your reservation is cancelled because of your child not being able to cycle and their refusal to ride attached to you. Baby seats are for kids that are between the ages of 1 and 3 years old (max weight 22 kg (48 lbs)). We also have some cool Burley™ tandem attachment bikes that are suitable for little kids who are too big for the baby seat but too small to cycle on their own (max weight 38 kg (85 lbs) - max height 137 cm (4 ft 6 in)).

VII - Damages to Blue Fox Travel Property

If you or anyone in your party damages a vehicle, a Blue Bike™, a vehicle, a child's bike, a helmet, a baby/child seat, a tandem attachment bike, any bike attachments, or a booster seat in such a way that it becomes badly disfigured, broken, or unusable, then BFT reserves the right to claim a fee of up to the cost of repair of the damaged bike/vehicle or object.

We had a fantastic experience at Taittinger – the tour was very comprehensive and the tasting was great. Since we visited off-season and had limited time, we weren’t able to do other tours. We briefly stopped at Moët, since the boutique was open (they weren’t open for tours, though). We also drove around a bit to take in the picturesque towns and views – we got fantastic shots of the landscape. We were also able to tour the Cathedral in Reims and have a nice lunch. David is warm, friendly, and timely! We did so much and still made it back to the airport with time to spare. Would recommend any tour with David. Looking forward to coming back for another tour during the warmer months. (READ more reviews )

FAQ: Champagne Day Trip From Paris

As you plan your champagne tour from Paris, you might also be wondering:

How do I get from Paris to Champagne? 

While some of these champagne tours provide roundtrip transportation from Paris, others expect you to arrive in the Champagne region on your own. Luckily, getting from Paris to Champagne by train is easy, enjoyable and affordable. 

Click here to view schedules and book your train tickets. Set your departure as Paris and your arrival point as either Reims or Epernay depending on where the tour you select begins. 

If you have any questions about train travel to the Champagne region for a Champagne day trip, contact your tour host directly for guidance.

Is Epernay or Reims better for a day trip?

Both cities have their charm, and Champagne houses, going for them. If you’re able to visit both, I’d highly recommend it. If you’re looking for convenience, Reims is about 30 minutes closer to Paris by train than Epernay so factor that in. Of course, skipping Epernay would also mean skipping Avenue de Champagne!

Can you walk between champagne houses in Reims?

Yes, many of the champagne houses in Reims are walkable from each other. If you plan to do a self-guided tour, look up which ones you’d most like to visit and map out your route in advance. Be sure to book ahead where possible as well for your visits to the champagne houses.
