  • Peaceful Côte des Blancs touring site in a small rural village
  • A 20-minute drive from Épernay, including Avenue de Champagne
  • Run by a winegrowing couple, with visits to their cellars on request
Perhaps the most fitting way to celebrate your arrival at La Laiterie is with some bubbles, as this peaceful touring site is set in Côte des Blancs, an area famed for its quality Chardonnay Champagnes, the ‘Blanc de Blancs’. Its location in the small country village of Villers-aux-Bois is also just a 20-minute drive from Épernay, a destination that is widely known as ‘the Champagne capital’. The fully serviced pitches belong to a French and English winegrowing couple, who are very happy to spill the beans on their favourite Champagnes and local spots to visit. The grounds are wooded and very peaceful; your main neighbours are just the chickens, ducks and geese. Owner Claire also adores cooking, so if you ask nicely upon arrival, she can prepare you a full English breakfast for an additional charge. If you’re wondering what to expect from your pitch, it should be helpful to know that they are fully serviced with electricity, running water and grey and black water drainage. The grounds at La Laiterie are landscaped and set in a 2,000-square-metre plot next to the couple’s house, a renovation of the old village dairy (hence the name of the site, which translates to 'the dairy'). In keeping with the Champagne theme, there are plenty of places to go for tastings or tours at Champagne houses in the surrounding area. The owners can also arrange visits and tastings to their very own cellars in Grauves, 10 minutes' drive away. Avize, also a 10-minute drive away from the site, is a well-equipped town with restaurants and a supermarket, making it easy for you to stock up on supplies or track down a nice dinner spot.

What customers say

Charming, peaceful spot with friendly hosts Didier & Claire. Well-kept, serviced pitches with garden furniture. Great for vineyard cycling & Épernay. Champagne & breakfast highly recommended. Pitch access can be tight.

Fully-serviced grass caravan site

Liked Pretty and well maintained site. A warm welcome from our lovely host Claire who checked to see that everything was ok for us, and we knew we could ask for help if needed, and then we were left to relax and enjoy our 2 night stay. Enjoyed a lovely bottle of chilled champagne provided by Claire with an ice bucket and 2 glasses for only Euro18, a bargain!

Louise B.

Fully-serviced grass caravan site

Liked Lovely peaceful location within easy reach of Épernay (18 mins drive through gorgeous vineyards). Claire made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. We ordered a bottle of champagne which promptly came out chilled in an ice bucket with glasses. Our only regret is we wish we’d asked Claire to join us for a glass! Oh and also that we could have stayed longer!! We did find it a bit tight to get from the driveway up onto the grass area due to the angle and the stone bollard, so we unhitched the caravan (6.3m incl hitch) and used the motor movers and it was fine. Getting off next day was no problem. All in all a lovely welcoming stay on this gem of a site. We’d love to come back and explore more of this scenic area … and have that glass of bubbly with Claire!! 😊

From the manager: Hi Louise
Thank you so much for the lovely review!
So kind of you.
We will definitely enjoy a glass together when you return.
Safe travels!

Well there will always be one person that doesn't appreciate things the way other people do.
Very bizarre that you would want to return to somewhere you have given dreadfully low scores for.
We wish you safe travels .

Local attractions

Épernay (20 minutes’ drive) should be a worthy first destination for your trip. Many of its most well-known Champagne houses are dotted along Avenue de Champagne, but if you’d rather get some background history first, you should stop by the Château Perrier museum to learn a little bit more about the area’s Champagne-making history. On the other side of Épernay is the Montagne de Reims Regional Natural Park (from 15 minutes), where sloping vineyards and small villages mix together to create some spectacular scenery for walking or cycling trips. Just a little further on is Reims (50 minutes), a city with a stunning cathedral that has been used for royal coronations. Those who are adventuring with the kids may fancy tiring them out with some outdoor activities. Just outside of Montmort-Lucy, Cap-Aventures (10 minutes) runs activities like forest climbing, paintballing and mountain-biking. Surely that should do the job, but if not, a long walk around the gardens in Châlons-en-Champagne (35 minutes) should end the day nicely.
