Here, pay homage to the legendary Dom Pérignon, often hailed as the spiritual father of Champagne, before enjoying a delightful lunch at a local restaurant, complete with a glass of Champagne to toast to your adventures.

After lunch, explore the famed Avenue de Champagne in Epernay, known as the "Capital of Champagne," where you'll stroll along the elegant boulevard lined with opulent mansions and prestigious Champagne houses.
