About this experience
This adventure will allow you to connect two countries with very different histories and landscapes. On one side the gates of Champagne, whose steep hillsides sheltering the famous vineyard of the same name overlook the beautiful valley of the Marne. On the other, the Valois plateau, historic land of the kings of France, occupied in this part by a vast wooded area formed by the splendid forest of Retz.
Grandiose and bucolic landscapes, varied and picturesque historical heritage, this circuit will make you discover a rich and unusual nature.
