Wonderful tour of the champagne region starting with Veuve Clicquot and ending with some fabulous smaller champagne houses. We tasted 11 different champagnes! Great group. Great guide.
Dear Julie, We want to say "merci" for your very nice review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the Champagne tastings and the good balance of two visit, 1 small house and a bigger one ! :) Do not hesitate to contact us if you travel in France we also provide tours in Burgundy, Loire, Bordeaux, Provence and our new region : NICE :D Best regards A LA FRANCAISE CHAMPAGNE TEAM
We visited some champagne houses and did our sampling, all very nice but Epernay itself is a traffic choked nightmare. Cycling in the town is downright dangerous and walking isn't much better. A horrible experience.
Bonjour, It seems that your review was not for our company, it describes another type of experiences than ours. We feel sorry that your experience in Epernay did not meet your expectations. Do not hesitate to contact us to experience the best of Champagne with us! We will be happy to welcome you :) Best regards, A la Française Champagne 🇫🇷
Three great locations and fantastic lunch. Every glass was lovely. Highly recommend this tour. Our guide was very good and knew his stuff. Five star trip.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you are travelling in France, we are also providing tours in Loire, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Provence and our new region : NICE ! :D Best regards A la Française Team
We had a fabulous time in Reims/Epernay and my party was thrilled with the whole experience. We visited Pommery on the first day (iconic, huge scale and wonderfully easy to get to), but this was nothing compared to the day you organised. Our guide (Anne) was so enthusiastic but not gushing; her English was also very strong. She kept us informed, made it fun and the group size made it all feel very personal. The trip to Epernay was a real treat; seeing Boziel first, then Le Clos, where lunch and games were laid on, plus a great story of the business evolving; again , she made it really enjoyable and the hosts were a delight. Our final stop at Geoffroy Maitre was a good end to a brilliant day.
Bonjour, Thank you for taking your time to share your feelings about your tours with us in Champagne. We are delighted that you enjoyed the visits and tastings at Boizel and Maître Geoffroy. Many thanks for your nice words for Anne and the hosts, we can't wait to tell them. It would be a pleasure to create a unique experience for you during your next stay in the region, do not hesitate in contacting us ! Have a lovely day A La Française Team
Perrine was a fabulous guide! She made the tour interactive with fun aromatic exercises and champagne process quizzes. Lunch was great and the quiche was to die for….I want the recipe!!!! Good luck with Chiropractic school Perrine!!!!
Bonjour Debi, Thank you for your nice review for Perrine. We are looking forward to tell her. And for the recipe, you’re gonna have to corrupt the chief ! ;) Have a lovely day A La Française team
Perrine was absolutely amazing start to finish! Picked up on time in predetermined location. So warm & friendly! VERY knowledgeable about Champagne & the history of the region. Went above & beyond all day! Felt like we were long time friends! Even have & made dinner reservations after the tour. Was hesitant because of the price, but worth EVERY penny!

After some confusion with logistics, we had an excellent full day tour! The guide, Thomas, was great - very knowledgeable and catered well to the group. We visited the house of Moet, vineyards and a smaller champagne house, and had an excellent lunch. There was lots of champagne which were generous sizes. Can’t recommend more!
Bonjour Emma, Thank you very much for this review. We are glad that you enjoyed the tour in spite of some confusions with logistics. Thank you for recommending us, we hope to see you soon in Champagne, in Bourgogne, Loire, Bordeaux or Provence. Have a good day A La Française Team
