Welcome to Epernay!

Epernay is well known as the capital of the Champagne producing region of France: it is a wealthy-looking town because of the expensive 19th-century townhouses and other mansions constructed with the wealth derived from the Champagne trade. The town sits below the vine-covered hills typical of the region. It is the perfect location to discover various well-known Champagne producers.

Along this avenue stand many of the most impressive Champagne houses and châteaux in Epernay. Moët-et-Chandon and Mercier are the most renowned Champagne houses. They will introduce you to the Champagne tasting experience (called a dégustation in French). But there are also many smaller producers open for visits in the town. The garden at the Château Moët-et-Chandon will be the highlight of your day.

Epernay is best known as a mecca for those with an interest in Champagne. But the town and the surrounding region also contain places of interest. Because of its geographical location near the French border, Epernay has been attacked and almost destroyed numerous times during its long history. As a result, there is little remaining here from the medieval period: most architecture in the town dates from the 19th and 20th centuries. The Portail Saint Martin is the oldest monument in Epernay. It is an impressive stone doorway and all that remains of the 16th century Church of Notre Dame.
