You leave the city of coronations to reach the capital of Champagne. But before reaching Epernay, it is the Regional Natural Park of the Montagne de Reims which opens its doors. You first cross the coast of the island of France, through its route of champagne before reaching the curious twisted beech trees of the Forest Domaniale Verzy. Admire the ocean of vineyards at the top of the Verzenay Lighthouse or take the time to enjoy a glass of Champagne at Perchingbar, a bar perched among the trees. After the section of almost 10 km through the forest, you go from village to village on small roads and country paths through Fontaine-sur-Ay and Avenay-Val-d'Or. Arrival in Mutigny in superb accommodation amidst the vines!
