Flight
Booking your flight to Paris
For those traveling from the US, we suggest flying into either Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Paris-Orly (ORY) airports. These airports offer the most affordable options and are conveniently located close to the train station for your transfer to Épernay. To find a flight that works for you, use Google Flights and enter your preferred travel dates to Paris. International flights are typically the most affordable when booked 5-8 months in advance, so we recommend starting your search in early 2025. Keep in mind that booking a round trip ticket from the same airport is generally much cheaper than booking flights to and from different airports when flying internationally.
Train
Booking your train travel
Next, you can book your train ride from Paris to Épernay using Trainline. Direct trains are available from the Paris Gare de l’Est train station several times per day, and the trip is a quick 1 hour and 20 minutes. We recommend an Uber from your airport to Gare de l’Est, but it can also be reached by the Paris Metro. Please plan to arrive at the train station at least 15 minutes before your departure time. Trains leave on time and will stop boarding 10 minutes before departure.
Alternatively, Épernay is a short drive from Paris, and cars are available to rent at both Airports. Parking is available at our venue.
