Our time on this Premium cycling trip is split between three unique destinations: Reims, Epernay and Beaune. Below are the accommodations we typically use.  Reims: Hôtel de la Paix (night 1)  Part of the Best Western Premier collection, this four-star hotel is in the heart of Reims, close to both the UNESCO-protected Notre-Dame Cathedral and the shops and eateries of Place d’Erlon. Hôtel de la Paix offers contemporary, elegant décor, and amenities include a sauna, heated indoor swimming pool, restaurant and champagne bar.  Epernay: Hôtel Jean Moët (nights 2-3)   Stay in an 18th-century building in the centre of Epernay, the self-proclaimed capital of the Champagne region. Just a few minutes’ walk away is the Avenue de Champagne, 68mi (110km) of UNESCO-listed wine cellars. has a fresh, modern feel and a stand-out feature is the breakfast room, which is bathed in light that enters via a glass canopy.  Beaune: Hôtel des Remparts (nights 4-6)  Carefully renovated to preserve the history of the building, Hôtel des Remparts provides a character-filled stay in Beaune old town.

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance alongside your travel package to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances such as medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other contingencies. It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
Visa requirements
Visa requirements vary depending on your country of origin and your country of destination. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the relevant requirements. For a handy tool that can help you quickly find the requirements, please visit this link .
Meals Included
All breakfasts, four lunches and two dinners are included. For breakfast, the hotels offer a wide choice of cereals, fruit, cheeses and cold meats and all types of drinks (tea, coffee, milk, fruit juice). Four picnic lunches are included, prepared by the guide or assistant guide. Picnics are an important part of a day's cycling, and we've selected a few products from the Champagne and Burgundy regiona for you to try during your stay: Reims croquignoles, cheeses (Epoisses, Charolais (goat's milk cheese), Soumaintrain (made from raw cow's milk), Mâconnais, etc.), the famous Dijon mustard, gingerbread, etc. accompanied in moderation by local wines. We are committed to offering a proportion of regional products, chosen whenever possible from local producers to support short circuits, favour quality products and include a proportion of organic food, and reduce packaging, particularly plastic, and recycle what remains. The two dinners are taken in a restaurant with a set menu comprising starter, main course and dessert. The restaurants are selected to offer an opportunity to discover local gastronomy including local specialities: the andouillette from Troyes, the white blood sausage from Rethe for Champagne, the boeuf bourguignon and the snails for Burgundy, are all examples of choice. Vegetarians can be fairly easily accommodated; however, vegans may find the variety of dishes available is rather limited. Larger supermarkets can provide gluten-free bread and baked goods but this is less common in local bakeries.
