Day trip to Champagne from Paris

My husband and I would like to take a day trip from Paris to Reims to do some tasting at the various champagne houses. We%26#39;d like to take the train but are wondering how we%26#39;d get around once we%26#39;re in Reims. Would it better to rent a car? We%26#39;re planning on going to Mumms, Tattengier, Veuve Cliquot and Piper Heidseick. (sp?) I%26#39;ve read we would only need reservations to get into Veuve Cliquot. We love wine tasting in sonoma, Paso Robles, Napa, Santa Barbara, Long Island NY and are hoping it%26#39;s as easy to go tasting in France. Also does anyone know of any wine shops in Paris or Reims with good deals on Champagne and wine.

The best buys on still and sparkling wines in France are usually at hypermarkets, such as LeClerc and Carrefour.

I would advise never to rent in car in France. If you decide to make the day trip on your own (I would suggest many companies that offer day trips from Paris for a reasonable price in American dollars), the best way is to walk. Everything you need to see should not be far from the city%26#39;s center. However, to experience the best its somewhat easier to let a travel company give you the transportation, lunch, exclusive tours, all lead in English for a reasonable price.
