Board the high-speed train to Champagne. Wander Reims and its Gothic cathedral, descend into two champagne cellars — Grand Cru included — and linger over a traditional French lunch.

Your day begins at a Paris train station, where you'll meet your local guide and board the high-speed train. Forty-five minutes later, you step off in Reims — the city of kings, where French monarchs were crowned for a thousand years.

You'll walk unhurried through the old centre, taking in its landmarks before arriving at the cathedral: a Gothic masterpiece, and the site of those coronations. Your guide brings its history to life, from the stonework to the stained glass.

Then your private driver joins you, and together with your guide you head to the first champagne house. There you'll descend into the cellars — cut deep into the chalk — and learn how champagne is truly made, from the harvest to the second fermentation that gives it its bubbles. Three glasses follow: a proper tasting, taken slowly.

Lunch is next, in a restaurant in the countryside. A traditional French meal, unrushed — the kind of pause the French build their days around.

The afternoon belongs to the vineyards. Your driver takes you to a second champagne house, this one set among the vines. Here the tasting rises a level: three more glasses, drawn from the finest harvests only — Grand Cru. The vines start just behind the house, and you're free to walk out into them whenever you like.

Then it's back to the station with your guide, and back to Paris — with the taste of Champagne still on your tongue.
