The balconies of the Marne

Discover the wine-growing area closest to the capital, in the heart of the Champagne appellation vineyards. The first day, you go up the Marne to Chézy-sur-Marne, located at the mouth of the Dolloir valley, then you follow the Dhuys aqueduct. In the evening, stop in Château-Thierry, birthplace of La Fontaine, whose house can be visited. On the second day, after gaining height at the American monument on Hill 204, the path descends to the Gothic abbey church of Essômes-sur-Marne. Point of view after point of view, the cornice paths, punctuated by wine-growing villages, reveal all the beauty of the Marne and, on arrival... champagne!
