How to Get to Veuve Clicquot in Reims

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.

From Paris: TGV, car or a tour

For most visitors from Paris, the TGV wins. It leaves from Gare de l'Est and takes about 45 minutes. From Charles de Gaulle airport, Reims Tourisme puts Reims about 30 minutes away by TGV.

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 Centre or Champagne-Ardenne TGV

Reims has two stations, and which one you use changes the last leg.

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.

Where the tours meet

Every listing prints its own start. These are the points you walk to.

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.
