Champagne run

We are so lucky to have an excellent Champagne house only 500m or so from our door.

But it’s not just their Champagne that causes a stir, it’s also the sensitive restoration of the priory they are in that brings them the attention.

Built in 13th century as a Benedictine priory, it had a colourful life as the centre of administration for Viviers-sur-Artaut, before falling into disrepair. In 2002, Vincent Grandpierre undertook the task of breathing life back into the building, preserving its historical value, but giving it a modern twist that makes it functional again.

It’s a wonderful place to drop by for a little chat with Céline and to pick up some festive Champagne.
