Discover Mancy: vineyards, trails and Champagne

Mancy lies in a valley surrounded by extensive vineyards and is part of the Côteaux Sud d’Épernay Champagne-growing area. The landscape, local trails and Champagne experiences give a stay several clearly distinct focuses. Mancy can therefore be understood not only as a wine-growing village, but also through its trails, architecture and local history.

Vineyards and trails

The Saint-Hubert circular trail climbs from Mancy through vineyards to a picnic area and a viewpoint overlooking the slopes south of Épernay. Mancy also has a purpose-built viewpoint with views of the vineyard slopes. There are picnic areas near the church and at the starting point of the Saint-Hubert circular trail. These location details can help you choose a break that suits your plans: by the trail or near the church.

Another hiking option is the Sentier des Cossiers. It follows small paths along slopes associated with local winegrowers of the past. This connection gives the trail its own focus: here, the history of local winegrowing comes to the fore. The Saint-Hubert circular trail, by contrast, highlights the climb through the vineyards and the viewpoint at the end. If you include trails in your plans, you can choose between the Sentier des Cossiers and its winegrowing connections and the views from the Saint-Hubert circular trail.

Saint-Hubert Church and local history

Saint-Hubert Church has three naves, stained-glass windows and frescoes. The three naves give the church a structured interior, while the windows and frescoes add stained-glass design and wall paintings. This gives you two different perspectives for planning a visit: the architectural layout and the artistic details. Anyone interested in church architecture and religious art will find both in this one building.

Mancy’s château also has a specific connection to local history: it was built in 1517 by Olivier, secretary to Francis I. The church and château offer different points of interest—Saint-Hubert for its architecture and furnishings, and the château for its construction history and connection to Olivier. If you would like to include historical themes alongside the vineyard landscape during your stay, you can consider visiting both places.

Champagne and visits

Champagne B. Girardin offers cellar tours at 14 Grande Rue in Mancy. Domaine B. Girardin is a family-run, independent Champagne producer; its winery is in Mancy, and tastings are available by appointment. This gives you two specific types of visit: a cellar tour and a tasting, which you need to arrange in advance. If you would like to include a tasting in your stay, make sure to arrange it as part of your visit.

Find a hotel for your stay in Mancy

A tasting needs to be arranged as part of your plans. This perspective can help you connect your hotel search with what brings you to Mancy, rather than limiting your stay to a single activity.
