Reims walks

Coming soon (end of June - beginning of July). After setting off near the new school in Les Mesneux, discover the solar system and its planets - on a human scale - as you walk along the paths around the village, through fields and vineyards.

A loop through the vineyards and forest with beautiful views of Reims, the vineyards and villages. (best enjoyed in dry weather - description updated on 13 July 2019)

A varied route, mapped out by the Marne Tourist Board, takes you through a forest, sand pits, vineyards, fields and two villages. From a balcony offering views of the Vesle valley, you will pass the forts of Saint-Thierry and Chenay. These were built after the 1870 war to protect Reims. (avoid on hunting days or after heavy rain, as there may be large puddles - description updated on 14 July 2019)

Set off to discover the farms and châteaux of the Hermonville plateau on this circuit that will take you through the Saint-Joseph farm, the Luthernay farm, the Château de Vaux-Varennes and the Château de Châlons le Vergeur, along paths and through forests.

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.

This is a short hike through vineyards offering magnificent views of the Marne Valley. The return journey is along a pleasant path that runs alongside the river.

On one of the sites of the ill-fated Chemin des Dames offensive of April 1917, this route is mainly through forest but with clear passages offering superb views that give an understanding of how perilous the operation was. The route through the site of the former village of Craonne, which was razed to the ground under a barrage of artillery fire, is particularly moving. The remains of Vauclair Abbey provide a beautiful heritage-filled end to the walk.

A circular walk starting from Passy-sur-Marne, taking in vineyards, châteaux, villages, the banks of the Marne and wash houses, not forgetting the military cemetery and the Dormans Memorial 1914-1918. A busy day steeped in history.
