Unesco sites…<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

The Marne has 3 UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, the Palais du Tau, the Basilica and Museum of Saint Remi in Reims<\/strong>, the Pilgrim’s Way to Santiago de Compostela, with the Collegiate Church and Cloister Museum of Notre-Dame en Vaux<\/strong> in Ch\u00e2lons-en-Champagne, and the Basilica of Notre-Dame de l’Epine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inclusion of Coteaux, Caves et Maisons de Champagne <\/strong>in the 2015 list of protected sites makes the Champagne region’s identity international by promoting its hillsides (the oldest in the vineyard), the buildings erected by the Champagne houses and the countless cellars carved out of the chalk that house the precious nectar…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
