There is something special about a proper brunch: no rush, good food, and a morning that stretches out as long as you like. In Champagne, the setting can make it unforgettable. Rather than a busy restaurant, imagine a relaxed brunch at a private estate in the countryside, with the pool and the vineyards to yourself. Here is where to enjoy a memorable brunch in Champagne, near Reims and Épernay, 1h30 from Paris.
What makes a brunch memorable
A great brunch is less about an elaborate menu than about time and setting. It is unhurried, generous and shared, somewhere calm enough that the morning can drift. That is exactly what a busy venue cannot offer and a private place can. When there is nowhere to be and no table to give up, a simple meal becomes the centrepiece of a lovely, lazy morning.
Brunch at a private estate
At Le Domaine d’Ailleurs, brunch becomes an experience rather than a sitting. The estate is entirely yours, so a couple, a family or a group of friends can spread out around one table for as long as they please. A swim in the heated indoor pool beforehand, coffee in the calm of the grounds, and the vineyards all around: it is the kind of morning that sets the tone for a whole weekend. Combining up to 12 guests, the estate suits everything from an intimate brunch for two to a big family gathering.
Near Reims and Épernay, easy to reach
The estate sits at Coulonges-Cohan, 30 minutes from Reims, 45 minutes from Épernay and 1h30 from Paris, deep in the Champagne countryside yet simple to reach. Brunch is at its best as part of a stay, when the morning has nowhere to rush off to: a slow start, a swim, a long table, and the vineyards waiting for an afternoon stroll. It is the relaxed heart of a weekend in Champagne.
