Rilly-La-Montagne: Champagne, nature trails and train connections

In Rilly-La-Montagne, you’ll find a range of reasons to stay: a fun walking tour exploring the natural and cultural heritage, an educational trail with inclusive information features, Champagne tours and an annual cycling event. If you’re looking for a hotel, you can start by considering which of these activities will shape your trip. The visitor experiences differ in their duration, content and planning requirements, among other things.

Walking tour and educational trail

Cap Patrimoine – Rilly-la-Montagne is a fun walking tour to discover the natural and cultural heritage. The public educational trail “En forêt eau’trement” has a different focus: it was created in Rilly-La-Montagne and opened and inaugurated in May 2026. Its information features include audio stations, tactile elements, 3D models of species and several items in Braille. The trail therefore offers different ways of presenting information, while Cap Patrimoine focuses on a fun walking tour exploring the natural and cultural heritage.

If you’re planning to visit the educational trail, it’s a good idea to check the local access information in advance. This will allow you to take current conditions into account before planning your outing.

Champagne tours with different focuses

Champagne Daniel Dumont offers a one-hour tour. It covers the Champagne-making process from A to Z, traditional cellars and a tasting. The duration gives you a specific point of reference for planning; tour and booking details may change, so it’s worth checking in advance.

At Champagne J.Lassalle, private tours are available by prior reservation. They take you through the three cellar levels, followed by a tasting of one or more Champagnes. A reservation is required for this offer. So plan your visit only once you have arranged the booking.

Champagne Couvreur Prak offers a winery tour and a tasting of three cuvées: “Complicité,” made from three grape varieties; “Unicité,” a Blanc de Noirs; and a choice of “Fraternité,” a rosé, or “Prospérité,” a vintage wine. The named cuvées give you a specific idea of what the tasting includes.

The offers can be compared in practical terms: Daniel Dumont specifies a one-hour duration, J.Lassalle requires advance reservation, and Couvreur Prak names the cuvées on offer.

Getting there by train and the annual cycling event

Rilly-La-Montagne is accessible by train via the “Ligne des Bulles,” the TER service between Reims and Épernay. As timetables may change, check the current services for your journey.

AS RILLY organizes the Galipes Champenoises every year. If you’d like to combine your trip with the event, check the dates and registration details in advance; both may change. For planning, this means taking different aspects into account: a train connection, an annual cycling event, and tours, each with its own content and conditions.
