Le Clos Raymi

Épernay


Staying at this atmospheric place is like being a personal guest of Monsieur Chandon of Champagne fame, who occupied this luxurious townhouse over a century ago. The seven romantic, parquet-floored rooms – styles include Provençal, Tuscan and Champagne – have giant beds, high ceilings and French windows. In winter, there’s often a fire in the art-deco living room.

To up the four-poster romance, opt for the Colonial room. Breakfast (€18) is an appetising spread of fresh juice, eggs and bacon, homemade preserves and cheese.
