Au Jeu de Paume

We stayed for a single night. The hotel is small (5 rooms), but perfectly formed. The soft furnishings were beautiful in the bedroom. We stayed in the Blue Room (you’ll find out why it’s called that). The bed was the most comfortable of our week in France. The bathroom was stylish, had a full bath and well appointed. The couple who own the property have lovingly refurbished it over the past 10 years. It dates back to the 17th century. The parking is private, secure and is adequate for the number of rooms. The location is in a quiet street right in the middle of Épernay. The breakfast was expansive and plentiful. They book up early, so you’re lucky if you can get a room. While it’s not cheap, it’s prices in a similar way to other properties, but is good value for what you receive. We really enjoyed our stay and would like to stay again, but for longer. Highly recommended.

Beautiful B&B with character in the centre (albeit quiet street) of Épernay enabling close access to all the shops, restaurants, and Avenue de Champagne. Parking is off the street in a locked courtyard, which was an attraction for us. We were each offered a glass of local champagne on arrival, which were enjoyed in the outside garden courtyard. Our room was small but beautifully furnished with much artwork on the walls. Each room is uniquely decorated - ours being themed on Papillons (butterflies). The choice and quality of the breakfast was first class. The husband and wife owners were friendly and helpful. Yes, it is expensive for a B&B, but it is Epernay - the centre of Champagne production.

Great place to stay in the center of Epernay. Friendly hosts. Car parking on site. Individual style bedrooms, which are very clean and well equipped. Breakfast was very pleasant. Within walking distance of the local champagne houses. Very pretty city.
