Experience Details

EASY ACCESS: 1hr 10 min by car from Paris / 49 min by direct train (2.5 euros). Welcome to Sonia & Guilhem’s impressive house in a Champagne-producing village!


AN EXTRAORDINARY GARDEN

On the edge of a Champagne-producing village, this 14th-century house (originally a water mill) opens onto a unique garden. Walk barefoot by the waterfall, explore a mysterious tower, collect fossils in the stream bed and admire Guilhem’s collection of ancient coins he found himself. Your hosts offer a warm welcome and will give you a souvenir photo taken in front of the waterfall. In fall/winter or bad weather, try your hand at making crêpes.


CHAMPAGNE, FRENCH CUISINE & WELCOMING HOSTS

Enjoy an aperitif with Champagne and appetizers, then savor a generous homemade French dinner: three courses, cheese, and coffee — all shared with your warm and welcoming hosts. Guilhem speaks English 7/10.

What You Get

Alcoholic beverages
A glass of Champagne + 2 glasses of French wine during lunch
Lunch
Savor homemade France cuisine: three-course meal + cheese
A gourmet-level culinary experience. But expect typical local/French homemade cuisine by your hosts.
