10/10! Definitely recommend doing the virtual tasting tour with Tom, who did a wonderful job creating an immersive experience online. He is highly knowledgable and passionate when it comes to all things champagne and not to mention, he's easy on the eyes. Can't wait to do a tour with A la Francaise again in the future :)

We had a wonderful experience touring the highlights of Reims with Gwendol and Royal Journey this past September and I highly recommend you use him and his services! We had a limited amount of time in the area, and wanted to maximize seeing a few of the highlights. He designed an itinerary for us that balanced sight-seeing of priority spots for us (Reims cathedral, Hautvillers, Eparnay) with some relaxation time tasting champagne at a wonderful spot he recommended (L'Ecurie in Eparnay owned by Champagne de Venoge). Gwendol is very knowledgable, contributed informative, educational details about the various places we visited and was kind, easygoing and friendly. He rolled with the punches with our motley crew and made the whole touring experience so seamless and easy. Gwendol's Mercedes V class van was lovely, clean and comfortable, and he picked us up and dropped us off in a timely fashion at our rented property. Thank you, Gwendol, for providing us with such a lovely experience visiting the beautiful area of Reims.

We had an amazing 3 visits to some very different Champagne house spent in the company of the fantastic Delphine and Chloe. The champagne houses were lovely but what made the trip so special was the knowledgeable, professional and fun Delphine. She not only told us so much about champagne from vine to glass, but also history of the region . Thank you Delphine for a fantastic day. Also Grape Escapes for organising this . Diane and Derek

Attention to detail is the least I can say about Clément our travel planner and guide. I run a company specialized in tourism, so believe me when I say, I am a critic. The van was impeccably clean, sanitized prior to our departure from the Paris Montparnasse train station and throughout our transportation to different destinations. A little footstool prepared and I did not even have time to open the door, as our host did it before me. Clément played the French classics on our way to Normandy and the lyrics of Edith Piaf, Aznavour and Brel were in the seat pocket to sing along! As for the itinerary, our priority was to meet local producers and 'the' expert on WW2 D-Day history as well as Monet's Garden at Giverny. From cider houses, to farm producers who make cheese out of raw milk as well as calvados, the main spirit to go with camembert cheese! The choice of hotel was perfect in Bayeux, a charming town untouched by the bombings of the war. There we spent 3 nights where we could stroll to the morning market and visit the cathedral with it's intriguing crypt. We met a hat maker, lace and embroidery artisans all forgotten hand-made crafts revived by locals in Bayeux! A sensory experience was passing by Giverny. We were lucky as we were practically the only ones there, advantages of the pandemic. An autumn portrait where the sun was low and soft at dusk. Words cannot express the emotions brought by the colors and romantic solitude which must inspired Monet. Next trip with Clément will be Honfleur and Mont Saint-Michel. I can't wait!

Stephane was a great host to the Champagne region. He communicated well as we prepared for the trip. From the minute he picked us up outside our train car, he made the day special. Our highlights were breakfast in a vineyard with treats made by his wife and lunch with a champagne maker, both activities that Stephane suggested for the day. My only regret is not trusting him more on the locations. His picks were the best part of the visit.

Isabelle gave us a wonderful overview of the Champagne region around Ay and Hautvilliers. We did the half-day 3 hour tour. I learned a lot of interesting things which would be difficult to find out ourselves. As she is a very nice and cheerful person, it was also really fun. We did the tour in Corona times but everything went fine and we felt save. I absolutely recommend the tour if you want to explore the Champange region.

Do you know that my village of Aÿ - which is only 5 minutes from Epernay and 35 minutes from Reims - was the main center of the Champagne industry and still has a very special place ? The kings of France had their own presses there from the 16th century and the wines of Champagne were formerly called " Wines of Aÿ ". Its historic hillsides are now classified as World Heritage by Unesco and the vineyard is classified at the highest in the appellation : Grand cru. We will meet a family of producer/grower who will open the doors of their cellar and winery to discover the champagne making process and their specificities, which will be followed by a tasting of course ! Do you know who Dom Pérignon really is ? you will be surprised by the real story ... I will show you in the vineyards where all his experiments took place and where the first Champagne cellars he dug is located .... we will go then thank him in the church where he officiated and where he is now rest forever !
