The Cité du Champagne offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the global conflicts which hurt the Marne, with a special focus on the town of Aÿ and Epernay.

The exhibition focuses on 4 themes dealing each with both world wars:

- Wars and the Marne: an exhibition about military achievements and the Great battles of the Marne.

- Women, vineyards and Champagne: a tribute to women, to their important role in the vineyards, alongside the soldiers and in daily life.

- Worldwide soldiers: along with French soldiers, these fighters enhance the extent of the conflict.

- Peace and Victory: following destructions and occupation, the region arises and starts its reconstruction.

The tour ends with one or several tasting(s) of Champagne Collet.
