Cernay-lès-Reims walks

A short walk in the forest offering beautiful views of Reims, the Saint-Thierry massif and the Reims mountains.

A short circular loop in the Berru woods, suitable for families, which takes you through the village, the sandpit and the heights of Nogent-l'Abbesse.

Twenty-third stage of the Jura to Hauts-de-France via the Francigena. Following the Marne-Aisne Canal, you leave the Champagne vineyards and the Reims mountains behind to arrive in Reims and its Notre-Dame Cathedral. As you cross Reims, there is a wealth of heritage to discover: the cathedral, of course, but also the Basilica of Saint Remi, Gallo-Roman ruins and engravings by Albrecht Dürer. You then leave this beautiful city behind and continue through vineyards and forests towards the Massif de Saint-Thierry, one of the four Champagne production areas.

The city of Reims occupies a special place in the history of France and Europe. This urban route combines Romanesque masterpieces such as the Basilica of Saint-Rémi and Gothic masterpieces such as Notre-Dame Cathedral, with the Art Deco architecture characteristic of the city's reconstruction after the First World War.

This hike begins in the Champagne hills and gradually descends into the heart of the Montagne de Reims forest via some very pleasant trails. The end of the route descends from the forest plateau to finish on the old CBR (Chemin de la Banlieue Rémoise) with a lovely view of the village of Verzenay and its hillsides.

An easy walk through vineyards and fields.

Discovery hike through Boult-sur-Suippe and Bazancourt, alternating between village areas and nature along the waterways under the shady tree-lined paths.

This lovely forest walk in Rilly-la-Montagne is ideal for families and nature lovers who want to stretch their legs on a simple and pleasant route. We did it with a baby in a baby carrier, so it was no problem (however, it is not suitable for pushchairs).

Short walk in the heart of Heutrégiville, the woods along the Suippe, the mill, and Vaudetré.

A short walk in and around Heutrégiville to see the town hall, the Suippe, the mill and the church.

Sympathique randonnée à travers champs et vignes avec des vues panoramiques sur les environs.

This is an easy, semi-sporting hike (if you walk at a good pace on the first part) and a semi-cultural one, offering beautiful views of the Champagne plain and a natural curiosity of the region: trees that grow in a twisted manner, the Faux de Verzy.

Located in the Verzy national forest, the Faux de Verzy are well worth a visit! The twisted beech trees and a hollow oak tree will capture your attention. During your hike, you will feel as if you have stepped into the Forest of Brocéliande.
