First of all, I can only give praise the estate Domaine de la Grange aux Champs. The parc is very authentic, with plenty of paths to explore, and plenty of surprises to see. We even saw four deer at dawn, trying to graze some gras, just 100 meter away from the holiday houses! There are 2 holiday apartments, La Leurande is located in the old servants houses. It is therefore in original old style (incl screeking stairs!) but the rooms are newly done and all appliances are available and clean. It has two rather big gardens which are secluded and enclosed. And of course, everything is just steps away from the pool, trampoline and swings. The kids could have stayed at the estate all day every day… We however wanted to explore the surroundings as well. That is what you should know though: everything is at quite a distance, so all car dependent. Worth the 1 hour drive are definitely Reims, Epernay and Verdun though! The village Nettancourt is a bit more than a street with a bakery open every morning. The Lidl supermarket is in a nearby town (10 min drive) and restaurants we only visited in the bigger towns we traveled to, thus further away. But if you are looking for a relaxed time in the most amazing estate, with a comfortable, beautiful kept holiday home and enjoying all facilities, a book and a good bottle of champagne/wine, you are at the right place! Thank you Mr and Mrs Morillion for allowing us to experience this little bit of paradise!
