Hiking in the Montagne de Reims: The Bellevue Loop

8 km in the midst of the vineyards of Champagne

Why not make the most of the grape harvest season for your hike? The atmosphere in the vineyard becomes festive at that time of year. And maybe you will have the opportunity to try your hand at picking grapes.

 

A historical and sparkling journey

It is in Hautvillers, home of Dom Pérignon, that you start this bubbly walk. The village is set on the slopes of the Montagne de Reims and overlooks the Marne Valley. Here, the history of Champagne is everywhere to see. The abbey of the village, where Dom Pérignon lies in rest, is worth a visit. The small streets with their typical houses and wrought iron signs make this village one of the highlights of the region.

Endless panoramas and opportunities to enjoy a taste of something

Along the way, you will be impressed by the scenery. Overlooking the Marne Valley, the vineyards glide smoothly towards Epernay.
In each village you travel through, you will be able to taste the nectar that is produced there. Do not hesitate to call in on some of the small Champagne producers. They will welcome you with pleasure and share all the secrets of Champagne with you.
