In detail

Your children may already be exploring the Montagne de Reims or the Marne Valley on foot or by bike. In this workshop, they’ll discover how these landscapes have been shaped over millions of years to form the UNESCO-recognized hillsides of Champagne. At the booth for the Mission Coteaux, Maisons et Caves de Champagne—World Heritage, guides welcome children for a group activity centered around a large relief model. Each child receives a puzzle piece and works with the other participants to gradually reconstruct the Champagne landscape. Throughout the workshop, the model helps participants understand the typical layout of this cultural landscape: the terrain, the hillsides, the villages, the houses, and the cellars that all play a role in champagne production.

For 45 minutes, the children observe, explore, and work together to build a hands-on model of the region. Parents are welcome to join the group—no registration required—to watch the activity and share this time of discovery with their families.

Mission: The Slopes, Houses, and Cellars of Champagne

The Coteaux, Maisons et Caves de Champagne – World Heritage Mission is the organization responsible for managing the site, which has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2015. It works to preserve, promote, and pass on this unique cultural landscape by mobilizing a broad network of local stakeholders—local governments, professionals in the Champagne region, residents, and researchers—to serve this exceptional heritage.
