Veuve Clicquot's visit centre stands on the edge of Reims, 45 minutes
from Paris by TGV. You can reach it by train and taxi, by car, or let a tour drive you. Sort
the route before your Veuve Clicquot booking, because the cellar slot will not wait
for a late train.

The ticket and the drive are in the fare
If you drive, Reims sits where the A4 from Paris meets the A26. Part of the city is a
low-emission zone, so your car needs a Crit'Air sticker rated 1 to 3. The house's own car
park is small, with 20 spaces, and you should not drive after the tasting.
Or let a tour do the driving
The Paris days collect you at your hotel with the cellar ticket in the fare, and one puts you on the TGV with the tickets bought for you.
Reims has two stations, and which one you use changes the last leg.
Reims Centre: in the heart of the city. The shared tours meet on its
forecourt, and the house is 15 minutes away by car.
Champagne-Ardenne TGV: at Bezannes, outside the city, linked to the
centre by tram. The house is 10 minutes away by car, the shortest ride of the two.
If you are going straight to your cellar slot, either works with a taxi. If you are
meeting a tour, go to Reims Centre, unless your listing names the other station.
The last few kilometres to rue Albert Thomas
From the city centre you have four ways to reach the house. Pick by how much time you have
before your slot.
On foot: the house says it is 30 minutes from the city centre. It is a
fair walk, so allow for the tasting on the way back.
Citybus: a stop named Veuve Clicquot serves the visit centre. Check the
line at the station before you set off.
Taxi: taxis drop you right in front of reception. It is the surest
choice when your train runs late.
Car or bicycle: 20 car spaces, 5 coach spaces and a bicycle space.
Where the tours meet
Every listing prints its own start. These are the points you walk to.
Reims station, 9:20 am: the shared days from Reims meet at the tourist
office on the Reims Centre forecourt, Cour de la Gare.
Épernay, 8:30 am: À La Française's shared day can start at the Épernay
tourist office, 7 avenue de Champagne.
Your Reims hotel: the private days from Reims collect you at the station
or your hotel, and one from 9 am at a place you choose.
Your Paris hotel: most Paris days collect you, some as early as 7 am.
The train day puts you on a TGV at Gare de l'Est, and the guide meets you at Reims station.
Sundays and summer trains
France Intense prints the trains it recommends for its Reims days, and they are a good
guide for anyone. Monday to Saturday, it names TGV 2709 from Paris-Est at 8:28 am, arriving at
Reims at 9:14 am. On Sundays it names TGV 2407 at 7:58 am, which arrives at Champagne-Ardenne
at 8:38 am.
In July and August it says no train suits a Sunday-morning start, so it asks you to arrive
the day before. For the way home, it suggests any train from Reims after 5:45 pm. Timetables
change, so check yours with SNCF when you book.
Reims Cathedral and the house in one day
Reims Cathedral stands in the city centre, a 30-minute walk from the house. It opens every
day from 8 am, and entry is free. The towers are open by guided visit only, for EUR 9.
So you can see the cathedral first thing, then take a taxi to a late-morning cellar slot.
Many Paris day tours stop at the cathedral for you on the way.

To the Manoir de Verzy
The Manoir de Verzy, the house's manor in the vineyards, is at 12 rue Ernest
Graingault, Verzy, with free parking. The house puts it 25 minutes by car from the Champagne-Ardenne TGV station. It opens
only for its own events, so you need a booking and a car or a taxi.
Questions about getting there
How do I get from Paris to Veuve Clicquot?
Take the TGV from Paris Gare de l'Est to Reims, about 45 minutes. From Reims Centre station the house is a short taxi ride, a Citybus trip or a long walk.
Which Reims station is closer to Veuve Clicquot?
By the house's own figures, it is 10 minutes by car from Champagne-Ardenne TGV and 15 minutes by car from Reims Centre. Reims Centre is the one the tours meet at, so most visitors use it.

Yes: 20 car spaces, 5 coach spaces and a space for bicycles. Taxis can drop you in front of reception.
How far is Veuve Clicquot from Reims Cathedral?
The house says its visit centre is a 30-minute walk from the city centre, where the cathedral stands. A taxi is quicker if your cellar slot is close.
Can I reach Veuve Clicquot by train on a Sunday?
Yes, though the early Sunday TGV France Intense recommends runs to Champagne-Ardenne, not Reims Centre. In July and August it says there is no suitable Sunday-morning train, so arrive the day before.
