Written by Nadia Hamam; Cover Image: Cathedral (c) Carmen Moya Grand Reims Tourism Office

Gone is the once stiff, provincial town where theater troupes from across France tested their works before facing Parisian audiences. Now, with celebrated vineyards, lesser-known but exquisite dining, art, and open spaces, Reims has turned itself into a lively, welcoming place. Just an hour by train from Paris, it’s an ideal escape. In this article, explore Reims for your next city break.

Visitors from all over the world are drawn to Champagne, a region built on a deep layer of chalk that gives its renowned wines their distinctive finesse and identity. Champagne enthusiast flock to its prestigious houses, including the Vranken Pommery estate. Founded in 1836, it’s one of the most spectacular in the world, with monumental cellars, known as crayères, reaching 30 meters underground and stretching across 18 kilometers.

The region is also home to smaller, distinguished champagne house, such as Duval-Leroy in Vertus, crafting exceptional champagnes on the Côte des Blancs since 1859. As visitors explore, they encounter ‘living, evolving cultural landscapes,‘ which gained UNESCO World Heritage status in 2015. To fully embrace this unique tapestry, follow the 600-kilometer Champagne Route or take in the sights from a hot-air balloon. Each property presents new, creative ways to savor champagne: Pommery unveils an annual ‘Experience’ exhibition by a celebrated contemporary artist, while other options invite visitors to try their hand at grape picking, master the art of sabrage, or sipping champagne high above the forest in Verzy.

With a smooth tramway expansion and well-done renovations, Reims’ city center has become more elegant and comfortable to explore. Among its many historic sites, don’t miss Reims’ Notre-Dame Cathedral, adorned with 2,303 statues and witness to 33 coronations. Nearby is the Palais du Tau, the former archbishop’s residence, and the former Saint-Remi Abbey, now a museum.

While you take your city break in Reims go visit, near Place de la République, the Foujita Chapel (Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix). Its interior was designed and decorated by Franco-Japanese artist Tsuguharu Foujita between 1965 and 1966. Converted to Catholicism in Reims in 1959, this eclectic artist of the École de Paris merged Japanese aesthetics with Italian Renaissance influences in his unique style.

Whether architecture captivates you or not, Reims’ Art Deco charm is undeniable. From the Carnegie Library to the old Opéra cinema façade, Saint-Nicaise Church, and the Grand Theatre, Art Deco gems are scattered throughout the city. The IDVizit app offers two free walking tours dedicated to this theme. Many Champagne houses embraced this architectural style in the 1920s and 1930s, like Mumm’s shipping cellars and Vranken-Pommery’s Villa Demoiselle. Contemporary art also finds its place here, with monumental sculptures and street art pieces by talented creators like the inimitable Iemza, C215, and Céz Art.

With its numerous Michelin-starred and acclaimed restaurants, Champagne doesn’t take its cuisine lightly. Plates here are made to match the prestige of the local champagnes! Each restaurant offers a unique style and personality, from casual to classic. Depending on your mood, head to one of the many dning bars around Place d’Erlon or in the Boulingrin district, where food markets sit side by side with antique shops.

Local specialties not to miss at the Boulingrin market include rose biscuits and croquignoles (ideal for dipping in champagne!), lentils, Reims’ ham, and the famous Clovis mustard. Adding to the Reims experience are the locals, affectionately known as “Cornichons.” To meet them, head to Quartier Libre, a hybrid space within a former industrial site that hosts exhibitions, events, and a business incubator. Or visit the Shed, a factory transformed by an inspired local into a vibrant space with a microbrewery, jazz club, photography exhibits, family areas, and a brunch spot. These creative hubs contrast beautifully with Reims’ rich 2,000-year history.

Valentina Vrenna, a hotelier proud of her region

By Laurence Gounel

Unlike those who destroy buildings and palaces every day in order to rebuild, with no regard for the environment. Beauty comes from authenticity, from considering a neighbourhood as a whole, from being aware of a place, its soul and the heritage that deserves to be respected. Whether in the city or the countryside, an address will arouse emotions because the very essence of the place is palpable, not just because the furnishings and decor are up to scratch. When the overall harmony is there, then the magic happens: between people, deep inside… Our priority? To offer a sustainable tourism experience by creating a virtuous circle at every level, from the furnishings to the service and the history of the place.

We’ve forged strong links with Calabria, a region rich in culture, landscapes and history, and with its ubiquitous gastronomy. This starts with giving priority to natural local resources, from construction (wood, metal, clay and ceramics) to our menus, with Calabrian vegetables (especially tomatoes) and fish from the Ionian Sea… And by multiplying authentic experiences, such as visits to small villages and unspoilt environments. We take our role as ambassadors of local know-how to heart, with the 100% local selection in our grocery shop.

‘A tale of two sounds: one a gentle song from the sea, the other as warm and penetrating as the timbre of voices rising from our lands. The region of Senatore Cappelli’s ancient durum wheat, shepherds, fields of olive trees as far as the eye can see and lemons of unrivalled diversity. A region of traditions, beauty and generosity, over which time has no hold.

Between vineyards and hospitality

By Laurence Gounel

Portrait of Guillaume Sévellec – ©Sébastien Billant

It’s the smallest appellation between Pomerol and Saint-Émilion: the Graves de Vayres offers an ideal terroir between sea and countryside, according to Guillaume Sévellec, Chairman and CEO of Château Fage, a 4-star address inaugurated two years ago. Just over three years of work were enough to transform 12,000 m² of vineyards and ruined buildings into a complete site – vineyard, brasserie, hotel – at the instigation of winegrower Yves Glotin, who initially simply wanted to increase the size of his vineyard. With the exception of the manor house and three dovecotes, all the ruined buildings have been redesigned and refurbished to create an inspiring, intimate and well-considered venue. With just 26 keys, the aim here is to offer a personalised welcome and to embrace slow tourism. There’s no reception area, just a large lounge and a first meeting with the ‘lady of the house’, an opportunity to go into more detail together about what you’re looking for long before you arrive.

In the style of an informal concierge service, the best of the region and local activities are on offer: cycling through the vineyards, tastings, cookery classes, yoga in the heart of nature… Reconnecting with the outside world and the character of the terroir anchor the stay, even in the rooms, whose colour palettes reflect those of the different grape varieties. Garnet and straw yellow are complemented by the omnipresent wood, cork and solid oak flooring.

©Sébastien Billant

Over and above the commitment on all levels – no fossil fuels used, photovoltaic panels on the roofs, reduction of plastics, recycling of waste, compost, micro-filtered water, etc. – it is the spirit of a family home that prevails at Château Fage. With friendly service, a certain spontaneity of exchange, links that are forged at a safe distance, a relaxed dress code – linen shirts, chinos and shoes made from recycled grape marc. The brasserie has the same easy-going spirit, with a family atmosphere and traditional dishes for lunch: mimosa eggs, calf’s head, minestrone, braised beef cheek… In the evening, the menu is more bistronomic but just as comforting, with straightforward tastes and concentrated juices.

©Sébastien Billant

Definitely epicurean, the restaurant naturally favours food and wine pairings and is unique in that it serves no fewer than 16 wines by the glass, including grands crus. ‘ The sophistication here is hidden in the details, the ultra-personalised offer and, ultimately, just the desire to please,’ sums up Guillaume Sévellec.

Week-end en Provence : Quel hôtel choisir pour visiter les Alpilles ?

Les beaux jours arrivent, profitez-en pour vous offrir un week-end en Provence, et plus précisément dans les Alpilles !

Les Alpilles, c’est une chaîne de montagnes des Bouches-du-Rhône, entre les villes d’Arles et Salon-de-Provence, offrant des paysages magnifiques et des villages pittoresques à découvrir à deux, en famille ou entre amis.

Vous cherchez les plus beaux hôtels de la région pour vous programmer une escapade inoubliable ? Alors, suivez le guide.

 Nous vous proposons de débuter votre escapade dans les Alpilles avec une visite aux Baux-de-Provence, un charmant village médiéval qui offre une vue imprenable sur les environs. Là-bas, vous apprécierez évidemment le château du XIIe siècle trônant au sommet du village, le Musée des Santons (dédié à la fabrication des figurines en argile traditionnelles), le centre d’art numérique des Carrières des Lumières ou, bien entendu, toutes les petites rues pittoresques !

Pour séjourner sur place, c’est au Mas de l’Oulivié que nous vous proposons de poser vos valises. Au milieu d’un parc verdoyant peuplé d’oliviers et de cyprès, vous jouirez de tout le confort moderne dans un cadre raffiné, dédié au bien-être. Piscine extérieure, séances de massage… Voilà de quoi profiter de l’instant présent.

Toujours dans les Alpilles, nous vous proposons de faire une halte à Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, « la petite capitale des Alpilles » ! Là-bas, au-delà du charme de la cité, vous apprécierez notamment la visite des Antiques (un site archéologique incontournable avec un arc de triomphe romain, un mausolée datant du 1er siècle après Jésus Christ…), la découverte de la maison du peintre Vincent Van Gogh (où il s’installa en 1889) et, bien entendu, les virées sur le marché provençal !

Pour séjourner sur place, nous vous proposons de découvrir (ou redécouvrir pour les connaisseurs !) l’hôtel-restaurant Le Château des Alpilles, une magnifique gentilhommière du XiXe siècle niché au coeur d’un grand parc verdoyant. Au programme : chambres romantiques spacieuses, détente (piscine, sauna, massages…) et cuisine gastronomique.

Autre option, toujours à Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (à 20 minutes d’Avignon), Le Vallon de Valrugues & SPA. Cet hôtel-restaurant ouvert sur un domaine d’1,5 hectares vous fait la promesse d‘une parenthèse de bien-être dans les Alpilles.

Les propriétaires ont mis à la disposition de leurs visiteurs : des grandes chambres à la décoration soignée, un centre SPA, soin et bien-être de 550 m², deux piscines chauffées à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur et, là encore, une table gastronomique à ne pas manquer.

Après Les-Baux-de-Provence et Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, pour ne pas se diriger vers Cavaillon et en profiter pour faire une halte au Mas de la Rose ? Situé à Orgon, cet hôtel-restaurant trônant au milieu de champs de lavandes et de bergeries du XVIIe siècle propose des chambres de grand confort. L’accent est évidemment mis sur la détente, avec la nature à perte de vue. Là encore, vous raffolerez de la piscine extérieure, du bain bouillonnant et de l’offre de soins…

Côté restaurant, avec une assiette au guide Michelin à son actif, le chef propose une cuisine ensoleillée typique de la région. Le potager et le verger du domaine constituent une source d’approvisionnement responsable, complétée par les meilleurs produits des producteurs locaux.

Entre Deauville et Bayeux, bienvenue aux Villas d’Arromanches, une pause détente dans l’ambiance d’une Normandie chargée d’histoire. Hélène et Luc Savariau, les propriétaires, partageront avec passion les anecdotes de cette demeure du XIXe siècle.

Que faire pour le week-end de l’Ascension ?

Avec la possibilité de faire le pont grâce au jeudi de l’Ascension férié, ce long week-end avant les vacances d’été est l’occasion de partir lors de courts séjours en tête-à-tête, entre amis ou avec toute la famille.

Partir en mai lors d’une escapade familiale permet de souffler en attendant les grandes vacances estivales. Avec les enfants, il est agréable de partager un moment entre évasion et dépaysement, dans un cadre enchanteur où sont proposées de nombreuses activités.

Randonner en pleine nature, imaginer des balades à vélo ou sillonner lacs et rivières en canoë promettent des souvenirs inoubliables. Destination idéale pour des vacances en famille, le Doubs, en Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, offre des paysages verdoyants de montagnes et vallées. C’est sur les rives du lac de Saint-Point qu’est posté l’Hôtel SPA Les Rives Sauvages, un établissement de charme disposant de seize suites dont sept chambres familiales tout confort avec vue sur le lac.

Sur cette vaste étendue d’eau bordée de forêts de sapins, les voyageurs peuvent choisir parmi diverses activités nautiques, du catamaran au voilier, agréables lors d’un court séjour printanier. Autour, il ne faudra pas manquer de visiter avec les plus jeunes le château de Joux perché sur son éperon rocheux ou se balader au cœur de la réserve naturelle de la vallée du Drugeon connue pour sa riche biodiversité.

Après une virée au grand air, l’espace bien-être de l’hôtel apportera un instant de détente. Le spa dispose d’une piscine intérieure équipée de jets massants, un hammam et un sauna, ainsi qu’une vaste terrasse solarium et un coin détente avec tisanerie. Un véritable havre de paix pour se ressourcer au cœur d’un environnement calme et bucolique.

Les ponts de mai sont l’occasion de se réunir également entre amis pour s’évader quelques jours. À mi-chemin entre les Landes et la Dordogne, sur les bords du Lot, se dresse une étrange bâtisse, aussi charmante qu’étonnante. Le Château Le Stelsia – Resort, un château médiéval niché dans un écrin de verdure de 23 hectares, offre un univers onirique rare. Laissé un temps à l’abandon, le domaine connaît un nouveau souffle depuis que Philippe Ginestet, un enfant du pays, a décidé de créer un environnement audacieux sous le signe de l’espièglerie.

Le manoir, nimbé de couleurs pimpantes, semble sortir d’un conte de fée et offre tout le confort moderne. Chaque voyageur y retrouve son âme d’enfant. Le Château Le Stelsia – Resort met à disposition une piscine extérieure, une salle de fitness, deux terrains de tennis, un terrain multisports, et le plus grand mini-golf 18 trous d’Europe. Dans le vaste parc ponctué de topiaires et d’arbres centenaires circulent de mystérieuses coccinelles géantes qui entretiennent la pelouse. Tout est conçu pour créer la surprise. Une destination insolite, parfaite pour passer des vacances avec ses proches.

Du Pays basque à la Charente-Maritime, en passant par le Golfe du Morbihan ou l’Ardèche, ces belles régions de France offrent dépaysement et volupté. Comme une véritable déconnexion, un week-end à la campagne appelle à ralentir et profiter des choses simples.

Pour sortir des sentiers battus, il est bon de s’évader vers de nouveaux horizons calmes et confidentiels. Dans le Grand Est, au cœur de la Moselle, à Condé-Northen,La Grange de Condé fait rimer charme et authenticité dans une ambiance chaleureuse et cosy. Cette élégante bâtisse nichée dans un coin de verdure propose des chambres tout équipées décorées dans un style romantique délicat.

Un espace spa avec piscine chauffée, hammam et bain bouillonnant vient parfaire les lieux. À la belle saison, le jardin est un véritable havre de sérénité avec son potager cultivé en permaculture, son étang et ses fontaines qui bercent les convives.

L’ambiance farniente qui émane de la région Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur séduit les voyageurs en quête de nature. Des gorges du Verdon au parc naturel régional des Alpilles, le sud de la France compte nombre de paysages sauvages et escarpés. Les villages pittoresques traversés par de petites ruelles pavées, où l’on peut découvrir une chapelle romane, valent également le détour.

Pour un week-end en amoureux en PACA ou une virée entre amis, le Mas de l’Oulivié offre un pied-à-terre intime et raffiné à quelques encablures de la mer Méditerranée, près des Baux-de-Provence. Au milieu des oliviers et des cyprès, ce mas possède une belle piscine bordée de rochers.

À l’intérieur, les chambres joliment décorées se succèdent sous les poutres, tandis qu’un grand salon doté d’une cheminée de pierre blanche rassemble les hôtes lors des soirées fraîches. Idéalement située entre la Camargue, le Luberon, le littoral méditerranéen et ses plages de sable fin, cette belle adresse est idyllique pour une parenthèse relaxante au mois de mai.

Weekend in Brittany: Two gourmet hotel-restaurants to discover

Brittany is a destination full of surprises. Among the jewels of its hotel offer, we have selected for you two nuggets that combine an exceptional setting with top-of-the-range services… including generous, quality meals and breakfasts!

Would you like to organize a gourmet weekend in Brittany? Follow the guide.

The Odet, Brittany’s 62.7 km-long coastal river, is a treasure trove of wonders. Sailing along its banks or following its course by road can be the object of many discoveries. The Villa Tri Men, close to the Cornouaille Botanical Park, with its 4-hectare park through which the river flows, is one of those moments you want to immortalize.

When you choose to stay in this prestigious building, typical oflate 19th-century seaside architecture, you know you’re making history. It’s this exceptional heritage that Anne Le Morvan, hostess of these magical places, invites you to share. With top-of-the-range accommodation options including rooms with magnificent views, the sea nearby and the freshness and beauty of the park’s trees, you’re sure to experience a whole new range of emotions.

On the gastronomic front, Frédéric Claquin, starred chef at the Trois Rochers restaurant, will delight gourmets with his sincere cuisine based on seafood.

In the morning, you can enjoy a generous continental breakfast (with fresh, local produce) from the terrace overlooking the sea, a true delight (for the eyes and the taste buds!).

The Carnac site is a must-see in Quiberon Bay. With over 2,900 menhirs, this site bears witness to our history. The seaside resort of the same name opens its doors and its coastline to travelers in search of authenticity.

The Hôtel du Tumulus is located on the highest point of Carnac, and welcomes you to a unique setting with a breathtaking view of Quiberon and its islands. For your comfort, there are 29 charming rooms and suites, a wellness area with massages and spa… and an outdoor swimming pool for your enjoyment.

As for catering, at Le Tumulus, Alain Ducasse’s Table remarquable, chef Jérôme Berthelot puts all his talent at the service of our gourmets. It offers fresh, inventive cuisine, strongly influenced by fresh, local and seasonal produce. The on-site breakfast is also particularly generous, with fresh produce and a range of cakes and pastries.

Discover the Périgord with a selection of charming hotels

If the Dordogne is famous for the prehistoric Lascaux cave or the Sarlat truffle market, travelers will discover the hidden assets of this beautiful region on a Périgord vacation. Staying in a charming hotel in Aquitaine means enjoying the bucolic setting of a beautiful establishment, savoring traditional cuisine and tasting the conviviality of the Périgord region. Follow the guide.

In south-western France, Périgueux, capital of the Dordogne department, offers a foretaste of the riches of the Périgord region. Built on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, Saint-Front Cathedral marks the starting point of the maze of narrow streets in the medieval town’s historic center.

But you’ll have to go deeper into this unspoilt countryside to fully appreciate the charms of Périgord Blanc, named after the limestone of many of the region’s monuments, confined to the Auvézère and Isle valleys. A stopover in a charming hotel in the Périgord region is a must.

Set in verdant surroundings, the hotel leChâteaude Lalande, a 19th-century manor house, is appreciated for its old white stones and turret. Inside, the personalized decor of the seventeen charming rooms, with their antique furniture and period woodwork, varies between authenticity and modernity. From the shaded terrace, a century-old wisteria marks the pathway to the pleasant outdoor pool.

The establishment, run by Catherine Staebell as hostess and Yves Staebell in the kitchen, offers a haven of peace in a family atmosphere. For a taste of Perigordian gastronomy, Les Collectionneurs offers combined overnight stays and dinners during gourmet walks in which the establishment participates.

The poetic resonance of this region comes from the color of the vineyards in autumn, when the Monbazillac and Pécharmant hillsides have just been harvested. This southern part of Périgord can be visited on foot or by hot-air balloon, to discover the main sites such as the Saint-Avit-Sénieur abbey, the English bastide of Beaumont-du-Périgord or the Château de Montaigne , where the writer penned his Essais. A canoe trip on the Dordogne river will take you to the unmissable town of Bergerac.

Just a stone’s throw away, in the small village of Saint-Nexans, the Chartreuse du Bignac enjoys a privileged location. This beautiful home nestles in a green setting, ideal for relaxation. Whether by the large swimming pool or on the terrace with its breathtaking views over the surrounding valleys, the setting is idyllic.

For an evening out or a romantic break in the Dordogne, this elegant 17th-century building becomes a cocoon of tranquillity, with its cosy library and vaulted cellars.

This is the oldest appellation, referring to the forests of holm oaks and their dark foliage. Black Périgord, in the Vézère valley, on the border between the Bordeaux region and the Quercy limestone plateaux. France’s most beautiful villages, such as La Roque-Gageac or Sarlat, famous for its local produce such as truffles, walnuts and figs.

In the heart of the Aquitaine region, a few kilometers from the prehistoric village of Les Eyzies, in a place called Millac, nestles La Métairie. This 19th-century bourgeois house, with its exposed beams and large fireplace, is an invitation to serenity.

The warm, friendly welcome adds to the charm of the place. Among the spacious, uniquely decorated rooms, the Prestige superior room offers not only all modern comforts, but also an enchanting view of the Périgord countryside.
