Le Clos de la Rose is an excellent place to combine a discovery of the Champagne area as well as visits to Paris. We are 5 minutes by car from the western vineyards of Champagne (where are the most interesting discoveries still to make) and from our place it is very pleasant to tour the whole area. We are only 1 hour from Reims and Epernay and everything in between are just vineyards! But we are also less than 45 min by train from Paris, 30 minutes by car from Disneyland Paris, 45 minutes from the beautiful medieval town of Provins, etc.
From our place it is practical and cheap to go to Paris. From the nearby little city of La Ferté sous Jouarre, there are several trains per day to and from Paris. For the very reasonable price of EUR 15 you can buy a day ticket which gives you a return ticket by train to Paris as well as an unlimited use of metro and buses inside Paris!

Where ever you will be arriving from, the first step is to go to the little town of "La Ferté sous Jouarre" (10 minutes driving from our place).

1) From the UK via the Tunnel or ferry from Calais or Boulogne: drive southwards on motorway A1. Exit right at Senlis (BEFORE the large toll station) and drive to Meaux. During rush hours, remain north of Meaux and use the city bypass heading eastwards in direction of Chalons, Metz or La Ferté sous Jouarre. In all cases you need to take the N3 to La Ferté-sous-Jouarre. You will need approx. 3 hours from the Coquelles Terminal, Boulogne or Calais to La Ferté sous Jouarre.

2) From Paris CDG Airport: Exit airport towards East and join highway N2 at entry #5. Head for Paris for a short section and at the next crossing go to the motorway A4 via motorway A104. When reaching A4, head towards EAST following the signs "REIMS". Take exit number #18 to La Ferté sous Jouarre.

3) From Paris City: Go direct to motorway A4, drive East until exit #18 and then to La Ferté sous Jouarre.

4) From Reims, use motorway A4 to Paris and take exit #19 (Montreuil aux Lions) to La Ferté sous Jouarre.

Once in La Ferté sous Jouarre, go to the round-about near the Monument for World War I on the South bank of the river Marne. When you arrive from Meaux, the airport or Paris via the N3 road, it is at the end of a long descent. Cross straight ahead to the second round-about approx 200 meters further. When you arrive from Reims, follow the road until you are crossing the river Marne. Immediately after the bridge, TURN LEFT at the first round-about and go to the second one.

At the second round-about drive through and take straight ahead the road D407 directions Montmirail and Chalon en Champagne. 5,8 kilometers ahead is a hamlet named "Montapeine". Take right on road D68. Drive for approx 1800 meters, enter the forest and take the first narrow road on the right (restaurant on your right side). Continue for 400 meters.
