Reims

Visiting Reims is a monumental journey through the history of France. The essential starting point remains the Notre Dame Cathedral, a jewel of Gothic art famous for its "Ange au Sourire" and its stained glass windows by Marc Chagall. This sacred site, where kings were crowned, forms with the nearby Tau Palace an exceptional architectural ensemble classified at UNESCO. A few steps away, the Basilica Saint-Remi imposes respect by its Romanesque and Gothic elegance. It houses the tomb of the saint who baptized Clovis, making her a high place of pilgrimage. For antique lovers, the Porte de Mars, the largest Roman arch in the ancient world, bears witness to the prestige of the city under the Empire. Finally, the adventure continues underground: the medieval crays, these chalk cathedrals transformed into cellars by the large houses of Champagne, are living monuments where the excellence of internationally recognized know-how rests.

Reims enjoys remarkable accessibility thanks to rail, making it a top destination for city getaways. The city is served by two separate railway stations: Reims-Centre station, located in the heart of the city in the immediate vicinity of the shops, and Champagne-Ardenne TGV station located on the outskirts. The latter is a major asset, since it allows you to connect Paris in just 45 minutes and directly to major cities such as Lille, Strasbourg or Nantes. Upon arrival, visitors can rely on Citura's public transport network to travel freely. The tramway, the backbone of the city, crosses the agglomeration and serves the main tourist sites as well as the large houses of Champagne. This device is complemented by a dense bus network and electric shuttles running in the hyper-centre, offering an ecological and practical solution to discover heritage without worrying about parking. For travellers arriving further, airport connections are simplified by the proximity to the capital. Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport is directly connected to the Champagne-Ardenne TGV train station in about 30 minutes' drive. Furthermore, Paris-Vatry Airport, located about 60 kilometres south of the city, offers regular flights from several European destinations, an interesting alternative for international tourists.
