Live graciously on 'Belmond Hirondelle' as you discover the essence of the Champagne region. Visit historic Reims, the centuries-old place of French coronations. Explore the sobering sites of World War I. Visit a fromagerie to sample delicious local cheese in the charming medieval town of Chézy-sur-Marne.
