Habits de Lumière

Epernay, the Capital City of Champagne, offers a unique gastronomic and cultural heritage. Situated at the heart of a vineyard territory covering 35, 000 hectares of vines, the city boasts world-famous Houses of Champagne, most of them being located in the avenue de Champagne. The city of Epernay welcomes more than 450, 000 visitors each year.

For three days, the city is lit up and there are many activities on offer, including a firework display and a big street parade on Avenue de Champagne, exhibitions, musical entertainment, cellar tours and a whole host of shows for children and adults.

The Champagne-style art of living is celebrated with cookery demonstrations by great chefs, oenological workshops and tastings of regional products. It's a chance to discover vintages by small producers and major brands that have made the reputation of the Champagne vineyards, as well as sweet treats and delicious cheeses from the region.
