Reims, Dijon & Strasbourg by Rail

Nine-day independent rail tour of Champagne, Burgundy, and Alsace regions.

Tailor Made Rail's 9-day Reims, Dijon and Strasbourg by Rail is an independent holiday through three of France's most celebrated wine and culture regions. You depart London on Eurostar to Paris, then travel by rail to Reims, where you spend 3 nights exploring Champagne houses and the city's cathedral and museums. From there, a rail journey takes you to Dijon for 2 nights in the heart of Burgundy wine country, with an optional side trip to the medieval wine town of Beaune. Your final destination is Strasbourg, where 3 nights allow you to wander the medieval Petite France district, visit the Gothic Cathedral, and sample Alsatian specialities. Throughout, Tailor Made Rail handles your rail bookings, hotel reservations, and documentation. This trip suits independent travellers who want to explore at their own pace, food and wine enthusiasts keen on vineyard visits and tastings, and those discovering rail travel for the first time.
