🚴‍♀️Cycling tourism in Champagne: a slow-paced experience

Discover Épernay and its surroundings by bike in slow mode

Champagne offers an ideal playground for cycling enthusiasts. Between vineyard-covered valleys, picturesque villages, and Champagne houses, each pedal stroke takes you through exceptional landscapes. The Épernay Tourist Office offers several cycling routes suitable for all levels, from family rides of a few kilometers to sporty itineraries through the vineyards.

Opt for a slow-paced stay that will allow you to savor every moment of your stay. On a bike, time stands still, giving you the opportunity to stop at a winery, picnic among the vines, or photograph a breathtaking panorama. The small country roads of the Champagne vineyards and the greenways invite you to take the time to experience and appreciate the authenticity of the Champagne villages.

Greenway of the Marne, from Dormans to Condé-sur-Marne

The cycle route crisscrosses the Marne Valley for 92 km, between Champagne vineyards, chalk valleys, places of remembrance and pilgrimage, and landscapes and monuments listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
