Moët & Chandon are very generous hosts and those who have been on the tour in the past have found it both memorable and enlightening. It is a serious educational trip, but of course, it will also be a very pleasant experience. All expenses for the trip from and to Paris Charles De Gaulle airport are covered by Moët & Chandon, but it is the responsibility of individual group members to make their own way to CDG airport early on the morning of Wednesday 6th July 2022 and a return flight from CDG to the UK early evening on 7th July.
If you would like one of your team to participate in this trip, please complete the attached application form.
