La belle vie, 4-star Champagne residence

Close to wildlife walks, motor boating, and more, this welcoming vacation home brings it all within reach. Thanks to the convenient covered onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 14-minute walk to Champagne Betouzet-Brugneau, or easily tackle the quick 3-minute drive to Champagne Jacques Copin. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Dormans Station, a short 6-minute walk away.

After you return to this 1292-sq-ft vacation home, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and stereo.

This 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and a fireplace. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have access to laundry facilities.
