The Champagne Route by Campervan: Montagne de Reims, Hautvillers and Épernay

Quick summary: The Champagne route by campervan links Reims with the vineyard slopes of the Montagne de Reims, the hilltop village of Hautvillers and Épernay, home of the Avenue de Champagne. Distances are short, so base yourself at a campground and take day trips. Many champagne houses require visits to be booked ahead. Village lanes are narrow, so know your vehicle’s height and length, and park outside villages and walk in.
