Plan your visit to the restaurant La Table de Courcelles

Chef Massimiliano Sena wants to pass on his passion for local cuisine and seasonal ingredients. Through an immersive experience in his team, he shares an exceptional moment with his day students that will show them the inner workings of a fine dining restaurant. Raising awareness about healthy and sustainable cuisine is a challenge, but it also gives a sense of pride and daily commitment. What better than bringing back vegetables that were used in the past, discovering little-known fish or even highlighting the best local producers inspired by the Champagne and Hauts-de-France regions?

Behind the scenes of a fine dining restaurant

Gastronomic excellence, authenticity and terroir are the keywords of Chef Massimiliano Sena's cuisine. His Menu du marché changes every two weeks: every evening, his gourmet menus give pride of place to seasonal produce. Discover an experience to be savored in the conservatory or on the verdant terrace.

La Table de Courcelles Restaurant

Legend has it that Jean Cocteau designed the staircase of the Château de Courcelles... Regardless of whether it is true, this rumour speaks volumes about the attention to detail in this palace where Jean-Jacques Rousseau once liked to stroll in the French garden and French literary figures Racine, La Fontaine and Dumas stayed between Paris, the Aisne and the Champagne. Which now famous pages did they write here? This can be contemplated while strolling through the magnificent grounds, swimming in the pool, playing a round of golf, or a game of tennis, and dining like royalty, discovering the best local products and excellent Champagnes.

Between the vines and the hillsides, follow the Champagne route and discover the richness of our region's wine. The views over the magnificent landscapes of the Champagne vineyards are the first key for interpreting and understanding what makes this beverage so unique.Make a stop at some of the producers we particularly like that harvest and handle their own grapes, such as the Maison Pannier, operating in Château-Thierry in the Aisne since 1899, the Maison Roger Coulon, and the Maison Aspasie. You can also discover the great champagne producers such as Taittinger and Moët & Chandon, both long-time Relais & Châteaux partners. Upon your return to the castle, visit our cellar with more than 800 different bottles. Our sommelier awaits you to initiate you to the art of tasting with the best champagnes of our region!

The Champagne vineyards classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Isn't this French garden the best representation of French castles? Walk down the main pathway of the Château de Courcelles to reach the canal and the centuries-old trees that line it. Don't miss out on a walk around the garden of waterfalls which is hidden right at the back of the superb lake... Maybe you'll have the opportunity to watch the common cranes who sometimes rest there... In need of even more greenery and tranquility? Take a walk through the hedge maze and then through the Château de Courcelles' forest where three paths with the names of great individuals who marked the history of the Château will guide you.

Between remarkable gardens and centuries-old trees...

The Chemin des Dames plateau, which overlooks the Aisne Valley between Laon and Reims, has enjoyed strategic importance throughout history. Between 1914 and 1918, the site was the scene of bloody battles between German troops and French and British forces. While it long bore the scars of these events, it is now a place of remembrance that showcases significant archaeological heritage from the First World War. Along a route spanning nearly 20 miles, you’ll discover tours that take in the area’s war memorials and cemeteries, its vestiges of trenches and ruins of villages, an arboretum and an observation tower. The Caverne du Dragon (or ‘Dragon's Cave’)–a former quarry converted into military barracks during the war–offers a glimpse back in time into the daily lives of French soldiers. The Vassogne Museum and the Fort de Malmaison further immerse visitors in the battles fought here. The Chemin des Dames itself (it means ‘Ladies' Path’) takes its name from the trail once used by the daughters of King Louis XV, known as the ‘Ladies of France.’ Compete your visit with a hike along this path as it winds through the lush green landscape.

Explore the Chemin des Dames

Built between 1690 and 1694 by Baron Jacques de la Grange (advisor to Louis XIV), the Château de Courcelles previously attracted Enlightenment philosophers and has since drawn in various famous figures who have been fond of 17th century aesthetics. Voltaire, Rousseau, Racine, Jean de La Fontaine, Napoleon, Cocteau and more recently, Christian Dior, have all spent time here. During a stroll through the French gardens of the grounds, you should have no difficulty understanding the reason for their visits to the Château de Courcelles.

At the heart of history

A week-long trip between Paris and Reims is like going back in time and opening yourself up to new emotions. The traveler will discover magnificent Gothic cathedrals, immortal battlefields, and landscapes now covered with the vineyards of the most prestigious Champagne appellations... <a href="https://www.relaischateaux.com/us/destinations/routes-du-bonheur/the-wine-route-to-champagne" target="_new">See the itinerary</a>
