Fables and champagne

An itinerary of flowing waters and sparkling wines in the footsteps of Jean de La Fontaine. The latter was a good walker and of spiritual temperament. We can guess that he found in the bucolic footsteps of his forest charge the inspiration for many of his verses. Punctuated by well-preserved villages (millstone housing, churches, fountains, wash houses) and champagne cellars, this tour can be captured at a glance from the American memorial on Hill 204. In three days, we go up the wine valleys of the Marne and Surmelin, enjoying wide views of the relief effects of the landscape.
