Vines on the slopes, beechwood on the plateau. The Montagne de Reims, around Verzy and Hautvillers, carries the Champagne grands crus on its slopes and dense forest on its plateau.

Verzy holds the Faux, twisted dwarf beeches whose contorted branches still divide botanists: a genuine curiosity, reached by a short and very busy trail.

Elsewhere, routes follow the Marne and its canal from Châlons-en-Champagne, or cross the sterner chalk plain. Reims gives onto the slopes through its southern suburbs.

When to go — All year; September and October are the finest months, between harvest and beechwood colour.
