Battle in the Argonne Forest Walk in the footsteps of a German, French, or American soldier along the Front Line of 1915–1918. This tour takes 3 hours. The forest is about 3 hours from Paris and Brussels. 1 hour from Reims and Luxembourg. There is no public transport here, so you need to come by car. You can come alone, with two, or as a group; the price remains the same. I take you around and read out parts of the German regiment history. Very personal stories and inside information make the forest transform into a 1st WW scenery. I can adjust the tour to your demands and requests. I even can make it into a more convieniant paved tour. And we can start at a time that suits you best.

I was born in Epernay, in the heart of this Champagne cradle where the maternity ward was called Auban-Moet, built in 1893 thanks to donations from the Moët & Chandon family. Children born in this place receive a drop of Champagne from their first breaths! Such a baptism opens a way of life, so I chose to reach the chalk hillsides to work there and develop a certain sensitivity to nature and the vine. A whole story of skies, landscapes and people that I cannot keep to myself. Welcome to the land of Champagne!!
