The Hôtel Biron is a jewel of Parisian rocaille architecture, with its park that covers nearly three hectares, adding to its immense attraction and explaining the museum’s very high attendance.  Late in 2005, the architect Pierre Louis Faloci finished the restoration of the chapel building, making possible the reopening of a temporary exhibition room.

Lunch included in Full Day Tour

Full day tour to Champagne by TGV, including lunch and champagne tasting at Veuve Clicquot

The champagne vineyards follow the Montagne de Reims, approach Chateau Pierry, run along the Cote des Blancs, cover the valleys of the Marne, the Vesle and the Ardre and then, in a odd way, reappear between Bar sur Seine and Bar sur Aube.

In Hautvilliers in the 17th century, a monk named Dom Pérignon and his bubble made the region famous the world over… The vineyards, which take up 27000 hectares of land, are looked after by champagne houses, cooperatives and 18000 wine-growers.

Take the TGV high speed train from Paris to Reims (apprx 45 minutes ride).

Reims is the city of crowning since Christmas 496. Indeed, on that day, Bishop Remi Baptized Clovis, then King of the Franks, placing the French Monarchy, from its earliest days under the sign of divine will. Here you will visit the famous gothic cathedral.

Since that time, not fewer than 24 kings came to Reims to be crowned. Visit the interior of the 12th century Gothic Cathedral where the kings of France were crowned over a period of 600 years. A masterpiece of Gothic art, the cathedral of Our Lady was started in 1211. It was the cathedral of coronations for French kings in memory of Clovis baptism by Saint Rémi in 498. The side portal on the west front carries the famous Smiling Angel statue.

Visit of the caves and private lunch at Veuve Clicquot Champagne (Reims)

Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot-Muiron, Veuve Clicquot played an important role in establishing champagne as a favoured drink of haute bourgeoisie and nobility throughout Europe. The 1811 comet vintage of Veuve Clicquot is theorized to have been the first truly “modern” Champagne due to the advancements in the method champenoise, which Veuve Clicquot pioneered through the technique of remuage.

An authentic venue featuring the Veuve-Clicquot colors and combining refinement, modernity and tradition. This former storeroom was mainly used to store Champagne «pieces», more commonly called «barrels», used during the harvest. Inaugurated for the bicentennial in 1972, this unmistakably Champagne place recalls Madame Clicquot’s feat when she conquered the Russian market.

Return to Paris by TGV.
