Reims, Ardennes 51100

A 17th-century stone residence, with a garden boasting panoramic views of the vines, in the Champagne vineyards, half an hour to the west of Reims. The residence is in the peace and quiet of the upper part of the village, far from the main road below that runs through the village, at the corner of a small street and the square on which a 12th-century Romanesque church stands. It stood against the walls of the feudal castle which has virtually disappeared today, though a watchtower and some remains of walls give it the impression of somewhat being a fortress. The entrance to the entirely walled, tree-lined and flowery garden is via a gate near to the gable end facing the street. There is an outbuilding at the bottom of the garden behind which there is a lawn where an old well stands. The residence is currently run as a holiday let that can be rented in its entirety for ten people or split into two, to welcome groups of six and four people, thanks to two separate entrances, from the square and from the garden.
