The wine regions in France can be divided into 11 major wine regions that span a wide variety of climates and territories. The most influential (and famous) regions are Bourgogne, Bordeaux and Champagne. And there is a saying on these 3 world famous wines: Bourgogne makes you think of silly things, Bordeaux makes you talk about them, and Champagne makes you do them. So we had to come and explore the Champagne area in a Quazy Rides tour!

The Champagne region is divided into two parts and we are in the Northern region, roughly covering the area between Reims, Châlons-sur-Champagne and Épernay, also called the Golden Triangle. Épernay is often referred to as the capital of the Champagne as it houses numerous champagne houses, including many of the famous ones, especially on the Avenue de Champagne. So we chose Épernay as the central point of our Sipping Champagne tour!

The Bourgogne region in France is of course very well known for its sublime red ánd white wines! But have you have heard of the green lungs of the Bourgogne? That is how the natural park Morvan is also called. It is a mountainous area where you can find true unspoiled nature. The landscape is characterised by mountains, hills, vast forests, blue lakes and rippling rivers. So we had to come here for 3 rides and explore this area. Besides the nature the Morvan also holds many nice little towns, much of them with a medieval character. We have chosen the cosy town of Avallon as our central point for our tour here that we have named Medieval Morvan, which city reigns over the picturesque Cousin valley and is known as “one of the most charming towns” in the department of Yonne.
