Overnight stay - advice needed

I hope someone can help. We will be driving back up to Calais in September and thought about stopping overnight in the Champagne region before leaving the following afternoon for Calais to catch the ferry.





The thing is, we don%26#39;t know where would be best to stay (a B%26amp;B or small hotel will be fine, not too expensive), ideally with parking and be near somewhere we can go our for a meal in the evening. I%26#39;d quite like to do a champagne house tour the following morning, have lunch and then drive up to Calais in the afternoon.





Any suggestions as to where to stay or best champagne house to visit would be most welcome.





Many thanks

Consider http://www.lechevalrouge.com/ at Sainte Menehould.



Sainte Menehould is approx 350%26#39;peage%26#39;Km from Calais.



The town is not much to write home about but the hotel is very good and has an excellent restaurant and also bistro and the staff are kind.



There is ample street parking adjacent to the hotel.



The only downside is noise from the absurd teenagers mopeds!

For about €40 for a double room with gated parking you could try the Hotel Premiere Classe, Tinqueux, Reims. We have stayed there a couple of times and found it very convenient being only about 5 minutes drive from the centre of Reims. Hotel Premiere Classe website has further details.



Plenty of restaurants in Reims for lunch and dinner, as well as numerous champagne houses which offer tours and tastings. The tourist information office in Reims will have details of the champagne houses and tours.

Thank you both for your suggestions. Will look into them.
