Gîtes in the Marne

Discover the Marne during your holidays

The Marne, named after the main river that runs through it, is a multi-faceted department with a history closely linked to the most famous of wines: champagne! It is also an area that has often been at the heart of French history, notably with Reims Cathedral and the coronation of the Kings of France, the First World War and the French Revolution at the Moulin de Valmy. From your bed and breakfast, set off to discover the Marne and its wealth of architecture and French history. Only opened a few years ago, the 1914-1918 Interpretation Centre at Suippes and the nearby military cemeteries will help you understand and remember. The Marne is also a destination full of nuggets to discover, such as the Verzenay Lighthouse, set in the middle of the vineyards. You're not dreaming, there really is a lighthouse in Champagne! Once used for advertising, the lighthouse is now one of the many sites on the Champagne Tourist Route. Exploring this route means discovering the heart of the Marne and the Champagne region, with the producers who make this sparkling wine known and recognised the world over. Your Champagne holiday will also be an opportunity to explore the Montagne de Reims, now a Regional Nature Park. Here you'll find the Faux de Verzy, a forest of twisted beech trees: a unique discovery full of surprises. Bring your walking shoes for a hike that's accessible to all, in this fragile site that's constantly changing. A nature destination in its own right, the Marne (along with the Haute-Marne) boasts Europe's largest man-made lake: Lac du Der. There's something for everyone, from hikers and bikers to horse-riders, water sports enthusiasts, anglers and birdwatchers! The main points of interest are the Village-Musée du Der at Sainte-Marie-du-Lac Nuisement, the church at Champaubert, the Giffaumont water sports centre and the observation areas at Chantecoq and Étangs d'Outines. So, don't hesitate any longer and take advantage of a Clévacances rental ideally located for exploring the Marne and its landscapes.
