Madame Pommery had the idea of linking the Gallo-Roman crayères (chalk pits) of the Saint-Nicaise hill with galleries to store her champagne thirty metres deep. Today there are 18 km of tunnels, with galleries named after cities of the world and bas-reliefs carved into the chalk.
The visit
You go down 116 steps. The Brut Royal visit, the shortest, goes through the galleries and the crayères with an audio guide or a guide, in French or English, and ends with a glass of Brut Royal: €30 self-guided, €36 with a guide. The crayères have also hosted contemporary art exhibitions since 2002. The longer options add the Villa Demoiselle, an Art Nouveau house on the estate, from €55.
Tips
