If you travel a bit further than the Parc de Champagne, you will be able to take a walk through vines in the Reims Mountain under the great Lighthouse of Verzenay. Breathe the fresh air, and climb up the stairs of the lighthouse for a breath-taking view over the different wine plantations from Pommery and little producers.
