Why visit Reims?

Reims is the capital of Champagne, 45 minutes from Paris by high-speed train, and one of the most historic cities in France. For centuries French kings were crowned in its Notre-Dame Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece famous for its sculpted façade, including the Smiling Angel, and for stained-glass windows by Marc Chagall.

The cathedral, the Palace of Tau next door, which displays the coronation treasures, and the Basilica of Saint-Remi together form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Champagne itself is the other great draw: houses such as Taittinger, Veuve Clicquot, Pommery and Ruinart offer tours of chalk cellars dug deep beneath the city, some in Gallo-Roman quarries, ending with a tasting. The Museum of the Surrender marks the room where Germany signed its surrender in May 1945. Nearby Épernay, with its Avenue de Champagne, and the vineyard villages of the Montagne de Reims make easy excursions. Try the local pink biscuits of Reims dipped in champagne.
