Hautevesnes is a perfect location for your exploration of the best of French country. We were there for a wedding and were literally a few km from the venue. The hosts were very charming even though we had travel issues and showed up later than expected. It was the only apartment/house on ours trip where every room had its own bathroom and we loved the outdoor space. Having a car for this area is a must to visit Champagne, Disney, etc, I highly recommend this location for families.
