Reims View breaks >>

Reims is a modern, beautiful city, nestled in the heart of the Champagne region in France, with a population of almost 190,000 people. Don't be fooled into thinking this city is just an expansive industrial settlement, Reims is positively thriving with historical and archaeological treasures. The listed UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Basilique St-Rémi, Cathedrale Notre-Dame and the Palais du Tau are undoubtedly the highlights of the city, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.

History surrounds this magnificent city, which bear witness to the surrender of German army in 1945, marking the end of World War II. It has proudly hosted the royal coronations of 25 French sovereigns in the city's history and is one of the core producers of Champagne in the world. Chalk formations deep beneath the city have been naturally carved into a maze of ancient tunnels, providing the perfect atmosphere to mature champagne.

The region of Champagne itself is noted as one of France's most rural areas, despite the large of population in Reims and it is an excellent location for a luxury short break in France.

Cathedrale Notre-Dame

This 13th century cathedral is the city's most famous monument. World War I destroyed much of the Gothic building but it has been expertly restored. Don't miss its vivid rose windows and the Gallery of the Kings.

Basilique St-Rémi

Dating back from 1007, this vast Romanesque Basilica shelters the tomb of St. Rémi and houses a wonderful collection of 12th century stained-glass windows. Next to the basilica is the Musée St. Rémi, in the Benedictine abbey of St. Rémi.

Musée des Beaux-Arts

This is the city's main art museum, close to the Cathedral in part of the 18th century Abbaye St-Denis. Its collection ranges from the Renaissance to today, and is made up of a vast selection of paintings, sculpture and objets d'art. (not shown).
