Champagne, Alsace & Burgundy

10-day self-guided French wine-region rail tour, Paris Reims Strasbourg Beaune

Illustration of Champagne, Alsace & Burgundy

Authentic Europe's Champagne, Alsace & Burgundy tour is a 10-day self-guided rail trip through three of France's wine regions, starting and ending in Paris. After two days in Paris, day 3's train ride reaches Reims, Champagne's capital, for a free day to explore on day 4. Day 5 continues by train to Strasbourg in the Alsace region, with day 6 left free at leisure, before day 7's train reaches Beaune, described as Burgundy's wine capital, for another free day on day 8. Day 9's train returns travelers to Paris ahead of departure on day 10. Every leg is by train with reserved seats included, and the standard class trip can be upgraded to first class through a GOLD tier option. With no guide accompanying the trip, this suits independent travelers who are comfortable navigating French train stations and cities on their own and want to build their own days around Champagne, Alsace and Burgundy's wine culture.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 2 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

One reading is held out of the price above and this history: an unconfirmed large change. We only price on the operator's package from-price, read from its own page.
