Gourmet evening in Champagne

Forty-seven meters above the Vesle River, Reims unfolds its Art Deco grid while, 25 minutes away, Champillon rides the ridge facing UNESCO-listed vineyards. The region’s grand dining rooms speak the same language as its chalk cellars and vintages: L’Assiette Champenoise by the Lallement family (three Michelin stars since 2014) crafts turbot, Sologne caviar, and pitch‑perfect Champagne pairings; at Royal Champagne, the dining room looks out to Hautvillers and the Marne. Dine early for the full signature menu, or later to catch the last light over the slopes.

Collected directly from your hotel, you travel in a Mercedes kept at your disposal all evening: drop-offs at the door, quiet waiting between courses, and flexibility if a digestif runs long. In Reims with your private chauffeur, the round trip to Champillon takes roughly 50 minutes and parking worries vanish; you taste, they drive. If you like, we add a 6:45 pm aperitif at Perching Bar in Verzy (17 km) or a quick cellar stop with an independent grower before heading to your reserved table and a late return to your lodging—wherever it may be.
