The D&A Eastern France Program is a luxury travel experience pairing a tour of Burgundy with an iconic journey to Champagne.
Travelers are driven from Lyon to South Burgundy via the Romanesque Cluny Abbey. Then, our first step in the province is to move in a sumptuous château owned by a charming host who welcomes us for two nights in a fabulous atmosphere and invites us to share lavish dinners. In the heart of this beautiful hillside landscape, cruising along the Saône river is an idyllic way to spend a day around the great vineyards and villages of the Côte Chalonnaise. Nearby Beaune, we stay in a magnificent Relais & Château hotel, visit the prestigious Pommard and Meursault wine estates and explore the Hospices de Beaune and the Clos de Vougeot historical landmarks.
Leaving Burgundy, we enjoy a gourmet lunch in the colorful medieval quarter of Troyes before heading to the prestigious house of Moët & Chandon, located Avenue de Champagne in Epernay, on the most famous boulevard of the region. The next day, after a night in an exquisite upscale accommodation surrounded by vineyards, we indulge in tasting the supremely elegant Billecart Salmon Champagne in the very best Premier Cru village of Mareuil-sur-Ay.
At the end of the winding road of La Montagne de Reims, we propose a historical stopover nearby the cathedral where the kings of France were crowned. On the way back to Paris, a shopping high time is scheduled at La Vallée Village, an outlet mall featuring over a hundred of luxury fashion boutiques selling designer brands at discounted prices.
