  • 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.

Fully-serviced grass touring pitch

Liked We didn’t like it … we LOVED IT!

Claire and Didier have made a lovely, very individual site, and are the best hosts and loveliest couple you could meet. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with smiles and they couldn’t do enough for us.

I highly recommend you try the champagne, it’s delicious… as is the breakfast in the morning.

We will definitely be back, this really made the last few days of our holiday in France very special.

Thank you
Becky and Richard

Craig T.

Fully-serviced grass touring pitch

Liked We stopped over for the night on our way down to the south of France to break up the journey. Our host Claire was very attentive and very knowledgeable of the local area, she couldn’t have been more helpful. The area is absolutely stunning. The campsite is perfect for a stopover or a few nights. I can’t fault this site for friendliness, location, cleanliness and I would highly recommend La Laiterie. 10 out of 10! Thank you Claire.

Disliked I can’t fault La Laiterie.

From the manager: Dear Craig, it was a pleasure to welcome your lovely family.
Thank you very much for your very kind review.
We hope to see you all again soon.
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.
