Do you only have a day or just a few hours to spend in Châlons-en-Champagne? A full day will give you a taste of the city’s charms and highlights, and it’s sure to be enough to convince you to come back and see us for more days next time.

Take a tour of the city with

the whirlwind tour

To get the day off to a good start, head over to the Tourist Office at 3 Quai des Arts.

There, you’ll discover the Maison de la Petite Juiverie, a stunning timber-framed building dating back to the 16th century. This is where the Tourist Office is located!

Here, you’ll find our “Whirlwind Tour” brochure which allows you to discover the city on foot in around 1 and a half to 2 hours. This is the perfect way to start your visit to Châlons-en-Champagne. Don’t forget to take a stroll through the Jards, our three fabulous gardens located right in the heart of the city.

Lunch

in the historic centre

After a morning of exploring, it’s time to recharge your batteries with some great cuisine. The majority of restaurants can be found in the city centre, not far from the Tourist Office.

Les Caudalies

If fancy a treat in a stunning place, we recommend Les Caudalies. We love this venue which is listed as a Historic Monument. Cosy in winter and with an outdoor terrace to enjoy during the summer.

La Maison de Marie-Caroline

For authentic home-style dishes, head to La Maison de Marie-Caroline.

Le Fluvio

If you fancy a good pizza or a generous bowl of fresh pasta, then Le Fluvio, in a modern setting, is the place for you.
