Visitor Information in Champagne Country

If traveling extensively by public transportation, be sure to load up on information ("Guide Régional des Transports" schedules, the best taxi-for-call companies, etc.) upon arriving at the ticket counter or help desk of the bigger train and bus stations in the area, such as Reims and Amiens. In addition to the main tourist offices in these two cities, other smaller towns have their own tourist bureaus
