For many years the Champagne-Ardenne region of France has remained relatively undiscovered, here now is your opportunity to experience the beauty, tranquillity and rich history of this very special part of the country.

Set in the heart of Champagne-Ardenne countryside between Chalons en Champagne and the historic town of Verdun, you will find the imposing Manoir De Maffrecourt.

Built in 1830 and steeped in history the manoir has enjoyed a colourful past surviving the French Revolution, two world wars, German occupation and a tornado. The gardens too have their own history amongst the fruit trees and ancient grape vines first planted by local monks.

You're guaranteed a warm welcome from Grant and Sandra Endersby. We invite you to come and stay for a relaxing holiday or short break and enjoy a taste of real France. Ideal for families, there is plenty to do, walking, cycling, water sports, fishing, canoeing, historic sites and much more ? in fact you may find your stay is not quite long enough?.

?your visit would not be complete without a trip to Epernay and Reims for a tour of the Champagne cellars. We recommend you spend a day travelling along the Route Touristique (Champagne Route) which meanders gently through the pretty villages and vineyards. When you get tired of looking at the scenery, you can stop and sample the local produce at one of the many famous Champagne houses. Daily guided tours are available?

?.for all the famous sites and a little retail therapy, the splendour of Paris is only 90 minutes by train from Chalons-en-Champagne and Disneyland Resort Paris is within easy driving distance for a spectacular day out for all the family.
