Discover Nigloland, the fourth theme park in
France and Renoir's home and resting-place. This unique area
with its Made in France charm is Aube en Champagne.
From Bar-sur-Seine to Bar-sur-Aube, on little sparkling lanes
Visitors are cordially invited to come and have a drink in La
Côte des Bar. This is the main part of the Aube where this sweet
nectar is produced. It is a real horn of plenty, located in the
south of the département, where Champagne and Burgundy touch.
In this area of low hills and verdant valleys, watered by the
Ource and the Arce, you will be amazed by the beauty of the
landscape. As you take the Route touristique du champagne (Champagne
tourist route), with its random meanders, you'll be treated to
some really superb views.
Just like the hospitality, given quite simply, in the
wine-growers' homes.
In these villages that are as picturesque as ever, the
wine-producer/handler will gladly open the door down to his
cellar. Descent to the kingdom of pleasures.
Under the vaults that in some cases go back to the 12th century,
in the coolness and the half-light, you should take the time to
taste the wine and to hear the producer tell you about its
magic. With a champagne glass in his hand, he will tell you all about
his age-old know-how.
He's proud of it. Beside him, all nicely aligned, thousands of
bottles lie dormant, with the wine in them maturing to
perfection.
Until the time that the cork pops, amid people's cheers.
And why not discovering this region on your bike, it will give
you even more time to enjoy the vineyards landscapes and taste
the champagne. But be careful, do not cycle and drink!!! |
