Orly Airport (ORY) → Épernay
Orly Airport to Épernay — Private Transfer to the Avenue de Champagne
Orly sits south of Paris. Épernay sits east. Between them, the A86 and A4 motorways draw a clean arc around the city — northeast from Orly, past Vincennes, east through the Marne Valley — delivering you to the Avenue de Champagne in 1 hour 37 minutes without entering Paris once.
Your Luxberri chauffeur meets you in the Orly arrivals hall. The road bypasses the capital completely. And when the chalk hillsides of the Montagne de Reims appear and the Marne Valley opens below Épernay, you know the vineyards that produce the world's most celebrated wine are right beneath you — and the cellars of Moët & Chandon, Pol Roger, and Perrier-Jouët are minutes away.
