Séjour: Spending the Night with Henri Giraud

The village of Aÿ in the heart of Champagne is a place steeped in winemaking tradition, home to many of the region’s great producers, Henri Giraud among them. While the area has long drawn Champagne enthusiasts, until recently it was difficult to find luxury accommodations within the village itself. That changed with the arrival of Manoir Henri Giraud, a beautifully restored property offering guests a sophisticated yet grounded experience in the birthplace of some of the world’s finest bubbles.

Séjour: Where to Stay in Reims

My first stay in Reims was as a newly-wed, on my honeymoon back in 2005. At that time, the most luxurious accommodation option was the (then newly renovated) Domaine Les Crayères – we loved every detail of our stay and couldn’t ever imagine staying anywhere else in Reims.

All that changed in 2022 with the opening of Residence Eisenhower, now our home-away-from-home in Reims (having stayed there on our last three visits, with a fourth stay planned in December this year).

It is not only home some of the most famous Champagne houses, including Moët & Chandon, Perrier-Jouët, and Pol Roger, but beneath the Avenue de Champagne are extensive cellars housing millions of bottles of champagne, stretching for kilometres underground.
