Le Clos de la Rose is an excellent place to combine a discovery of the Champagne area as well as visits to Paris. We are 5 minutes by car from the western vineyards of Champagne (where are the most interesting discoveries still to make) and from our place it is very pleasant to tour the whole area. We are only 1 hour from Reims and Epernay and everything in between are just vineyards! But we are also less than 45 min by train from Paris, 30 minutes by car from Disneyland Paris, 45 minutes from the beautiful medieval town of Provins, etc.
From our place it is practical and cheap to go to Paris. From the nearby little city of La Ferté sous Jouarre, there are several trains per day to and from Paris. For the very reasonable price of EUR 15 you can buy a day ticket which gives you a return ticket by train to Paris as well as an unlimited use of metro and buses inside Paris!
