Reims or Epernay?

We%26#39;re going to Paris in the last week of may and we%26#39;re plannig to take a day trip in the region of Champagne.

After reading some reviews and searching for information on the net, we decide to take the trip on our own, by train. Still we are not fixed on the destination: Reims or Epernay?!

Reims has the Cathedral and Epernay Moet Chandon. Which one is more interresting and has the most to offer? Can we visit some vineyard in Epernay?

Any information will be more than welcome!

Merci :)

I didn%26#39;t find Epernay so interesting to visit, apart from the Champagne.REims has a beautiful cathedral, eglise St Rémi and is nicer, bigger

See this thread from just a couple days ago...

I did some research last week, and we%26#39;ve decided to go to Reims, as we will not have a car.

Thanks a lot for all the infos!

If you will only go to one, go to Reims. More to do. The champagne houses tend to close at lunch, so you have the city and restaurants to occupy you then until the champagne houses reopen. Moet is nice but so is Pommery and others.

I recommend going to Reims.

Reims has a City Pass which allows entry to museums etc..

Also the Champage Houses are a short taxi ride on the edge of town. We enjoyed them all.
