Charly-sur-Marne: Vineyards, Champagne and Hiking Routes
Accommodation in Charly
Charly-sur-Marne can be explored through specific interests as you plan your trip: hiking, guided vineyard visits and a historical landmark each give the choice of location a different focus. If you are looking for a hotel, it may be helpful to first compare the activities that matter for your stay. The routes differ in their layout and length; the wine experiences combine walks, tours and guided tastings in different ways.
Hiking routes through Charly-sur-Marne
The GR 11A long-distance hiking trail, the “Tour de l’Omois,” crosses Charly-sur-Marne from west to east. The “Entre ciel et vignes” route takes a different course: it lies almost entirely within Charly-sur-Marne and is a 16-kilometre circular hike. These routes therefore have two distinct characteristics: for the GR 11A, the defining features are its passage through the commune and its west-to-east direction; for “Entre ciel et vignes,” they are its circular layout, its location almost entirely within Charly and its specific length.
You can weigh these details directly against each other when making your choice. The 16 kilometres give you the length of the circular route; for the GR 11A, the focus is on its course through Charly. This can help you decide whether you would rather include a circular walk or a long-distance trail with a specified direction in your trip plans.
Vineyards and Champagne
Champagne LĂ©guillette-Romelot offers a three-hour guided walk through the vineyards of Charly-sur-Marne. It includes viewpoints over the valley and a Champagne tasting among the vines. The experience also includes an introduction to the vineyard and the Marne Valley, a tour of the facilities and guided tastings of the Champagnes produced there. The walk focuses on being active, valley views and tasting among the vines; the facilities tour offers a different focus.
Champagne Gratiot-Pilliere also combines a tour with a guided tasting, ending with Champagnes produced there. The winery has been run by winemakers from the same family since 1657. This gives you two specific points to consider: the tasting at the end of the visit and the family’s long history. Champagne Alain Bedel is located on the slopes of Porteron, adding another named place to the area’s wine-related locations.
A historical landmark
The Tour Napoléon in Charly-sur-Marne was built in 1830. Its year of construction provides a specific historical point of interest alongside the hiking and vineyard themes. If you do not want to plan your trip solely around routes or tastings, you can also take this aspect into account when choosing a location. The date makes the Tour Napoléon a clearly identifiable landmark in the history of the town.
