We'll drive through the bustling streets of Reims to show you some famous Champagne Houses, the beautiful City Center and its imposing Cathedral, and point out places like the Royal Square, the majestic City Hall, Roman Oratory Ruins and THE widest standing Roman Arch in the world! On the Unesco World Heritage List, the 13th-Century Notre-Dame de Reims is one of Europe's most important Gothic structures - and is where most of the Kings of France were coronated through the ages.


Hautvillers sightseeing.

On the way to Epernay, we take you to the Marne River Valley, we'll pause in picture-perfect vineyards then go meet a prestigious personality of the area: Dom Pérignon, Champagne Wine's Spiritual Father.

Great If You Don't Have Time To Do Your Own Planning Or Don't Speak French

I was in Germany on business and suddenly had a free weekend to go where I wanted. Where else to go but Champagne?

The problem was that I had not done any planning. And someone with a plan is fairly important so that you don't waste precious time on things that turn out.

Based on the excellent reviews on tripadvisor.com, I booked this tour and it was money well spent.

Amanda was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. The 5 other members of the tour group were great to be around.

More importantly, I didn't have to worry about reservations, buying tickets, parking!, not being understood by the locals, etc.

I hope to use France Bubbles again when my wife and I return to France next year.

Perfect day trip

Loved every part of this tour, from the guides knowledge, to the beautiful villages and thorough champagne house tours. The van was very comfortable and the lunch spot our guide recommended was delicious! I would recommend this tour and company to anyone who asks!
