I had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Le Clos Raymi during my visit to Épernay, and it was truly a delightful experience. This charming, classic French-style boutique hotel felt like a home away from home. Its location is perfect—just a short walk from the famous Avenue de Champagne, the heart of Épernay.
The hotel exudes a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, ideal for anyone looking to experience authentic French hospitality.
