Travel program
Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral
Stroll through the historic center
Discover the countryside with its vineyards
Cellar tour with champagne tastings
We meet in the morning at Porte d'Orleans, heading for Champagne!
First stop: Reims, historic capital of the coronation of the kings of France. You can visit the impressive Notre-Dame Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic art, or stroll through the historic center, with its lively little streets and beautiful facades. For history buffs, the city also abounds in Gallo-Roman remains: the cryptoporticus, the Porte de Mars, and plenty of places to explore on your own. If you prefer a quiet break, the terraces of the city center welcome you for a coffee or a local pastry.
In the afternoon, we head to the heart of the vineyards to enter the world of Champagne. A visit to a traditional estate, a stroll through the cellars, an explanation of each stage of production... and of course, a tasting at the end. It's always a very convivial moment, with everyone sharing a good time before heading back to Paris.

Unforgettable destinations!
A former royal city, Reims is famous for its Gothic cathedral, where many kings of France were crowned. It's also a pleasant city to stroll around, with lively squares, historic buildings and a great atmosphere.
Did you know?
Reims is home to Gallo-Roman remains, including an ancient gate and cryptoportico visible on the Place du Forum.
You're about to visit a typical regional winery. The tour takes you into the galleries where the bottles age. You'll learn how Champagne is made, from the vine to the glass... and, of course, you'll be able to taste several different Champagnes.
Did you know?
Champagne is a sparkling wine protected by an appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC). Only wines produced in this specific region can bear this prestigious name.
Long before the kings of France, Reims was an important center of Roman Gaul. Called "Durocortorum", it was one of the largest cities of its time. Impressive traces of this past can still be found here: a cryptoporticus (an underground gallery used for storage), a city gate and even the remains of an amphitheatre. It's one of the few places in France where ancient and medieval history coexist so naturally.

Our charters
At Erasmus Place, the journey begins as soon as you get on the bus. It's a friendly atmosphere, where people get to know each other, have a laugh and share music and tips.
Our buses are comfortable, air-conditioned and equipped with toilets, barring major exceptions. We want you to feel at ease, even during several hours of driving. To make sure everything goes smoothly, we also have a few simple rules: respect for everyone, no inappropriate behavior, no consumption of alcohol or banned substances on the bus.
For each trip, we select quality establishments, always with a minimum 2-star rating for hotels. Whether it's a hotel or a hostel, you can count on comfortable, clean and conveniently located accommodation.
Our hotels and hostels are always located in the city center, close to places of interest and local entertainment, so you can make the most of your stay without wasting time in transport. With a few exceptions.
Rooms are shared among friends, in a relaxed atmosphere, but we respect a simple rule: men stay with men, women with women. Rooms are divided into groups of 2, 3 or 4 people, depending on the configuration of the site. If you're traveling as a couple, it's possible to have a room for two, but only by prior arrangement.
We want you to feel comfortable, surrounded and safe throughout your stay.
Each Erasmus Place trip is supervised by one or more trained Tour Leaders, who are friendly and always available. Their role is to ensure that your stay is well organized, that the group is safe and that a friendly atmosphere prevails from departure to return. They welcome you, inform you, lead the trips, coordinate the different stages of the program and listen to you throughout the trip.
Our Tour Leaders are fluent in between two and five languages, including English, making it easy to communicate with all participants, whatever their nationality. They are not certified guides like those you find in museums, but they know perfectly well the destinations they visit, the instructions for the trip, and the good tips to share. They're there to accompany you, reassure you, answer your questions, deal with the unexpected and make sure you get the most out of your Erasmus experience.
Their aim is simple: to make sure you return home with your head full of memories... and the desire to go back (alone or with us!).
