Hautvillers is twinned with the Alsatian town of Eguisheim, which explains why three storks live in the Voilière des Cigognes Altavilloises, an easy 500m walk towards Épernay from place de la République. If you’re not expecting a baby, this may be your only chance to get a close-up view of these majestic birds. In most years, storklings hatch here in May.
