Departure from Verzy (Marne)
A walk through forests, vineyards and villages to discover the Montagne de Reims and its Faux de Verzy. The route is a bit winding, but the idea was to include a good elevation gain. Please note that some sections may be blocked by fallen trees. The Visorando app is recommended.

Departure from Château-Porcien (Ardennes)
This long-distance walk links Château-Porcien , in the heart of the Southern Ardennes, to Verzenay, in the heart of the Champagne vineyards. The route tells a story of landscapes and agricultural production: starting with the vast cereal-growing plains of the Porcien; then the River Aisne and the Ardennes Canal, former routes for the transport of goods; Asfeld and its stunning Baroque church; the locks and hydraulic structures of the Canal Latéral à l’Aisne; Reims, the historic capital of Champagne; and finally the vineyard-covered slopes of the Montagne de Reims and the Verzenay lighthouse.A route that takes us from wheat to grapes, from farmland to vineyards, largely following the old waterways that once enabled produce and goods to be transported.
