Live graciously on 'Hirondelle' as you discover the essence of the Champagne region. Explore the sobering sites of World War I. Visit historic Reims, the centuries-old place of French coronations. And — of course! — tour Épernay with exclusive tastings of its most famous effervescent wines. Return to your cozy barge each evening for a gourmet dinner and perhaps a nightcap under the stars.
