Luxury holidays in Chablis

When to go

The harvest is between September and October; when visitors and locals alike pitch in, helping to hand-pick the ripened grapes.

Getting there

  • Planes

    The closest airport is Paris Orly, a two-hour drive (www.airport-orly.com). British Airways run frequent direct flights from most international airports.
  • Trains

    Auxerre-St Gervais Railway Station is the closest. Regular SNCF trains arrive from Auxerre, Paris, Lyon and more (www.sncf.com). Alternatively, ride the Eurostar to Paris’ Gare du Nord, hire a car and drive to Chablis from there (www.eurostar.com).
  • Automobiles

    If you’re driving from Paris (be warned – the Périphérique can be overwhelming for first-timers), hire a car at one of the airport or station booths, then take the A6 to get to Chablis.
