Pickup at Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) — meet-and-greet with a sign at the exit
A private transfer between Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and Épernay, in the heart of Champagne, taking you directly to your hotel, a Champagne house or an address in the vineyards.
The journey between Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and Épernay connects the Paris region’s main international gateway with one of Champagne’s most iconic destinations. The road distance is approximately 122 kilometers, and the drive usually takes around one hour and 43 minutes in smooth traffic. This duration is indicative and may vary depending on your arrival time, traffic around the airport, highway conditions and access to the final kilometers into Épernay.
From CDG, the route quickly leaves the airport area before joining the main roads eastward. It gradually crosses the landscapes of Seine-et-Marne and then Marne, transitioning between suburban areas, agricultural plains and vineyard-covered hillsides. As you approach Épernay, the terrain and vineyard layout become more visible, particularly around the Marne Valley and the neighboring wine-growing villages.
Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport has several terminals arranged around the Roissypôle area. For a departure from the airport, it is helpful to provide the exact terminal as well as your flight number or airline name. Arrival areas differ from one terminal to another. Terminal 1 has a dedicated arrivals and baggage-claim level, while the terminals in sector 2 each have their own layout and road access.
After an international flight, the time needed to clear passport control, collect your luggage and reach the exit may be longer than after a Schengen arrival. The journey to Épernay therefore does not begin at landing alone: the transfer time should be planned around the terminal, the flight’s origin and the time needed to leave the airport.
Traffic may be heavier around the airport during rush hour, weekend departures and periods of high tourist activity. Approaches to CDG, highway interchanges and the entrances to Épernay can also slow the journey. If you are arriving for a scheduled visit to a Champagne house, it is best to allow extra time between landing, collecting your luggage and the visit time.
The journey can also be arranged in the other direction, from Épernay to CDG. In that case, the departure time should take into account your check-in time, the relevant terminal and the variable journey duration. Travelers staying at a guesthouse in the middle of the vineyards should provide a complete address, as some properties are outside central Épernay and require a different approach.
Épernay is a compact city, but drop-off points can vary considerably depending on the destination: a downtown hotel, an address near Avenue de Champagne, a restaurant, a winery or a property in a neighboring town. A precise address makes it possible to distinguish an arrival in the heart of the city from a journey to Aÿ-Champagne, Champillon, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Avize or another village in the region.
If the transfer is part of a Champagne-focused stay, it is also possible to arrange a journey with several stops, subject to planning in advance. Winery tours and tastings are often reservation-only. The day’s schedule should therefore include the confirmed times at the Champagne houses, time spent on-site and any detours through the hillsides.
Our estimates take distance and travel time, including traffic, into account. The final fare is confirmed in the booking form.
Arriving in Épernay takes you straight to one of the main centers for discovering the Champagne wine region. The city is known for Avenue de Champagne, a boulevard lined with Champagne houses, grand townhouses, and historic headquarters connected to the wine trade. Several major Champagne houses welcome visitors for cellar tours, heritage presentations, and tastings, which must be booked in advance.
Avenue de Champagne stretches for more than a kilometer and is a natural starting point for exploring the city on foot. Beneath this part of Épernay are extensive underground galleries that bear witness to the city’s historic role in producing and storing Champagne. The avenue is part of the sites associated with Champagne Hillsides, Houses and Cellars, which are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Épernay’s city center is ideal for a first stroll along Avenue de Champagne, past historic buildings and shopping streets. Château Perrier houses the Museum of Champagne Wine and Regional Archaeology, dedicated to the history of the area, wine-growing traditions, and local heritage. Depending on your plans, the city can also serve as a base for exploring the villages and hillsides of the Marne Valley.
The tourist route around Épernay takes you through a landscape of vineyards, villages, scenic viewpoints, and family-run estates. The areas of Champillon, Aÿ-Champagne, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, and Hautvillers are often associated with Champagne’s history and landscapes. The villages are close together on the map, but visits are spread out and appointments need to be coordinated carefully.
For a weekend, visitors can combine a visit to Avenue de Champagne with one or more vineyard tours. For a more extensive excursion, it’s best to distinguish between the Champagne houses in town and producers based in the villages. Visiting conditions, available languages, and tasting arrangements vary by establishment, so booking ahead is recommended.
Épernay also makes a convenient stop between Paris, Reims, and the wine villages of the Marne. The city offers easy access to a concentrated range of wine-related and architectural heritage, while making it easy to continue on to the hillsides. For travelers with luggage, being dropped off directly at their accommodation means they won’t have to make several connections before starting their stay.
Beyond its cellars, Épernay has an identity shaped by gastronomy, the architecture of its Champagne houses, and its vineyard landscapes. The façades along Avenue de Champagne, villages surrounded by vines, and views across the valley make for an itinerary that’s very different from a simple city stop. The destination can suit a tasting-focused stay, a cultural getaway, or a broader exploration of Champagne.

KENZA from Casablanca. I used Booking Paris Transfer during my last stay in Paris for a day of shopping and then for my airport transfer. I highly recommend them to any visitor. The Mercedes van is extremely comfortable, and the driver is very friendly and exceptionally helpful. He will put you at ease and listen to all your requests. Plus, the prices are very reasonable. On my last day, I used them for my airport transfer. The driver accompanied me to check-in and helped me with my luggage. He also helped me with my tax refund paperwork. TRULY EXCEPTIONALLY HELPFUL. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOOKING PARIS TRANSFER!
