A real relief and a real time-saver!  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renting a car in Paris isn&#8217;t all that complicated. Carlili delivers its cars 7 days a week, from 8am to 11pm, wherever and whenever you want. You can rent a car up to 2 hours before departure and cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the start of the rental period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So at 6pm on Thursday evening, I devised a wine tourism itinerary. First stop on this Champagne winetour: Xavier Loriot, then <a href=\"https:\/\/vin-champagne.ouest-france.fr\/champagne-la-villeseniere\/\">La Villeseni\u00e8re<\/a> and finally <a href=\"https:\/\/vin-champagne.ouest-france.fr\/pommery\/\">Pommery<\/a>.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At 6pm, I order my car for the next day at 8.30am. No glitches, the site is super easy to use!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Friday morning, the carsitter came to deliver the vehicle. Let&#8217;s head for Champagne!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First stop after a 2-hour drive from Paris, to the sound of good times sharing <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sharesub.com\/cms\/fr\/obtenir-un-compte-spotify-pas-cher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">with our favorite Spotify playlists<\/a><\/span> playlists: the Maison Xavier Loriot in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Binson-et-Orquigny<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It&#8217;s an estate that&#8217;s been handed down from generation to generation, a non-conformist and avant-garde estate that reinvents itself every year. I fell in love with the <em>Hypnotic Brut<\/em> champagne! After a tour of the estate, a tasting and a case in the boot, we stop for a picnic before getting back in the car.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 10-minute drive later, we arrive at La Villeseni\u00e8re Champagne House in Boursault. Growing up among the vines, Laurence and her husband launched their own brand of Champagnes aged and vinified in oak barrels. It&#8217;s no surprise that we leave with 3 bottles of the cuv\u00e9e Harmony.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We spent a truly champenoise night at the Montflambert manor house in Mutigny, where we took the opportunity to change our return time so we could wander around Reims the next day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Saturday lunchtime, on the advice of a friend, we went to <em>La Grillade Gourmande<\/em> restaurant in Epernay, which boasts an exceptional wine cellar&#8230;and we weren&#8217;t disappointed!  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drink or drive, the choice is yours: after a welcome digestive break, we head for Reims to visit the magnificent Pommery cellars. Listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site, this was a unique and unforgettable visit! And their Champagnes are unquestionably superb, we can&#8217;t tell you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a stroll around town, we take the car back to Paris with a full trunk. The carsitter came to collect the car at the appointed time, and we invited our friends to come and have a taste on Sunday!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very happy with my experience, I share with you the coupon code &#8220;<strong>ROUTEDESVINS<\/strong>&#8221; to get 30\u20ac off your first <a href=\"https:\/\/carlili.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carlili rental<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]<div class=\"round-link-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/en\/sujet\/champagne-en\/\" rel=\"tag\">#Champagne<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/en\/sujet\/wine-route\/\" rel=\"tag\">#Wine route<\/a><\/div>[vc_empty_space]Array[vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space]<div class='shortcode-x-offerts'><div class='shortcode-x-offers-block'><strong>10 \u20ac offerts sur votre premi\u00e8re commande !<\/strong><div>Achetez vos vins en vente priv\u00e9e sur Twil.
