15 Best Things to Do in Reims (France)

Reims is champagne-central, and all your favourite houses are lined up for you to tour and taste. What’s more, and you might not know this, but every single French King, from 987 to Charles X in the 19th century, was crowned right here at the Reims Cathedral.

The city also sparkles with minor discoveries that will bring a smile to your face: A specialist museum about a historical event that took place in Reims and changed the world, a Roman arch in the middle of a square, a chapel painted by a great modern artist and an art deco library donated by Andrew Carnegie.

Lets explore the best things to do in Reims :

1. Reims Cathedral

At the site of 900 years-worth of royal coronations, it’s almost mind-blowing to think of all the historical figures that have passed through.

Before you enter see if you can find the Smiling Angel in the north portal of the west facade.

It’s a 13th century sculpture with its own story to tell, as it was beheaded during the German bombing in 1914 and the fragments became a famous piece of anti-German propaganda within France.

The Smiling Angel is one of a small army of sculpted figures on the facade, more than any other cathedral in Europe apart from Chartres.

And finally for art lovers, in the apse you can find stained glass windows designed by Marc Chagall to replace those damaged in the war.

Available tour : Reims: Notre-Dame Cathedral 2-Hour Guided Tour

2. Palace of Tau

The Episcopal Palace next-door is where the cathedral’s treasury is kept, and also had a role in the coronation ritual.

The king would come here to don his robes, and from 990 to 1825 this was where the post-coronation banquet would happen.

On display is an astonishing assortment of tapestries, reliquaries and statues.

Among the must-sees is a 9th-century talisman belonging to Charlemagne.

But nothing can match the Holy Ampulla for importance: It contained the anointing oil for every coronation from Louis VII in 1131 to Louis XVI in 1774.

Tickets available online : Palace of Tau Skip-the-Line Ticket

3. Villa Demoiselle

Next to the Pommery Caves is a gorgeous mansion built during the transition between art nouveau and art deco at the start of the 20th century.

After being left to rot in the 80s and 90s it was done up in 2004: The president of Vranken Champagnes, Paul-François Vranken spared no expense restoring the villa to its Belle Époque splendour.

Some sublime pieces of furniture and decoration were also added, like sinuous chairs crafted by Gustave Serrurier-Bovy, and a Cuir de Cordoue ceiling Émile Gallé.

There’s also a fireplace by a student of Louis Majorelle, which was submitted to the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900.

4. Saint-Remi Basilica

This church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and acclaimed as a gothic masterpiece for its sculptural decoration and architecture.

Parts of the building are much older than the gothic period, as the romanesque nave and transepts are from the 1000s.

Later gothic additions like the choir ambulatory and facade are masterful in the way they help form a unified whole.

The historic relics of Reims’ patron saint are inside: Saint-Remi was the bishop noted for baptising Clovis the King of Franks around the turn of the 6th century.

5. Champagne Houses

You can’t come all the way to Reims and not go for at least one tour of the champagne houses that have taken up residence in the town since the 18th century.

The tricky bit will be working out which one to visit: Mumm, Veuve Clicquot-Ponsardin, Tattinger and Ruinart are just a few of the prestigious names, and they’re all open for visitors.

All will take you down into the crayères, man-made chalk tunnels that predate the champagne industry and offer the ideal temperatures and humidity for the second fermentation that takes place in the bottle and creates that unmistakable fizz.

Maison Ruinart was the first producer to set up in Reims, and its tunnels, 40 metres underground, are protected as an historical sire

6. Musée des Beaux-Arts

Set in a former abbey, Reims’ fine arts museum is a product of the Revolution: Its collection is based on a works seized from the region’s aristocracy.

Since then the inventory has  grown with donations, and gives you a comprehensive overview of the main European art movements from the 1500s to the 1900s.

There are paintings by Renoir, Matisse, Monet and Charles Le Brun (who decorated the Palace of Versailles). But the museum is noted for its set of 27 works by the 19th-century landscape artist Camille Coroy, the second-largest collection in the world.

7. Porte de Mars

There isn’t a great deal of Reims’ Roman history surviving, but this arch in Place de la République is still going strong.

It was built in the 200s, and at 33 metres in length is the largest Roman arch in the world.

The arch has a lot of wear, but if you know your Roman mythology you can show off by identifying the reliefs of Romulus and Remus, and Leda and Jupiter.

One of the reasons why the Porte de Mars has remained intact is that it was a city gate, and then part of a medieval castle for Reims’ archbishops.

8. Musée-Hôtel Le Vergeur

On Place du Forum is a 16th-century mansion built by the bourgeois merchant Nicolas Le Vergeur.

Before you go inside you can appreciate the gables and half-timbering over the stone base.

The museum within has taken donations from people of all kinds of backgrounds, so the collection is wonderfully diverse.

There’s gothic and renaissance furniture, German Meissen porcelain and oriental art from the 19th century.

But the absolute must-see is a collection of 50 engravings by the German renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer.

Step out into the courtyard to see historic architectural fragments rescued from around the city, like romanesque arches from a 12th-century templar church.

9. Hôtel de La Salle à Reims

On Rue Dr Jacquin, Hôtel de La Salle is a renaissance mansion built in the mid-16th century.

Outside you can make out the influence of classical architecture in the Doric and Ionic pilasters (ornamental pillars) on the ground floor and first floor respectively.

If the name of the building rings a bell, it’s the birthplace of Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, founder of the very first Catholic Schools and the patron saint of teachers.

There’s an exhibition about the Institute of the Brothers of Christian Schools, and if you do go in you should head for the courtyard, which has an exposed spiral staircase leading up the turret.

10. Fort de la Pompelle

This fortress was a component in the nationwide Séré de Rivières defensive system, which France developed in the decades following defeat in the Franco-Prussian War.

Fort de la Pompelle was completed in 1884, was armed with six 155mm de Bange guns, and had a company of more than 270 men.

Reims suffered some of the First World War’s heaviest fighting but despite taking almost four years of bombing this fortress was never taken.

Today you can navigate the tunnels that were dug during this conflict, and inspect the Freise collection, which has some 550 German Pickelhaube (pointed) helmets.

There’s also a room for René Dorme, the fighter ace who claimed 23 victories and died around Reims in 1917.

11. Musée Automobile Reims Champagne

With more than 230 cars on display, this museum will give you as a clear a picture of the history of the French automobile as you could wish for.

The oldest vehicle dates to 1908, and what will thrill automotive historians is the amount of cars from long defunct marques like Salmson, Delage, Berliet and Chernard-Walcker.

Some are limited editions and among the last remaining models in the world.

There’s also an extensive bike collection, and a whopping assortment of 5,000 miniatures and toy cars.

12. Place Royale

The most magnificent square in the centre, Place Royale was plotted in 1760 in the neoclassical style, with balustrades on the roofs, arcades and cast-iron lanterns.

It was built to honour King Louis XV, and there’s  a statue of him dressed as a Roman Emperor (no coincidence, as the square is on part of the Roman forum). The original monument to the King was sculpted by the celebrated Jean-Baptisite Pigalle, and although his statue of the king was destroyed in the Revolution the pediment below survived and depicts the Pigalle under the protection of the king.

The current statue is from 1818, designed by Pierre Cartellier.

13. Bibliothèque Carnegie

Reims was one of three cities damaged by First World War that were chosen to receive a library from the American philanthropist Andre Carnegie.

In the library’s catalogue are medieval manuscripts, incunabula (books printed before 1501) and numerous books printed during the Ancien Régime.

Most people come just for the aesthetics: The library was built between 1921 and 1927 and is an art deco marvel.

Entry is free for all and you have to go in to poke around quietly for a few minutes.

Check out the mosaics in the reception, the geometric railings in the Salle du Catalogue, the various stained glass windows and the lantern and fountain beneath in the hall.

14. Chapelle Foujita

In the grounds of the Mumm Champagne house, opposite from their caves, is a magical curiosity to track down.

Tsuguharu Foujita was a Japanese painter who spent most of his career in France and was a member of the Paris School.

In the 1960s designed this chapel in the garden, and painted the fabulous frescoes that cover the walls inside.

Foujita had converted to Christianity ten years earlier, and it’s startling to see Christian themes  portrayed in his oriental style.

Special mention goes to the glass windows made by the master-glazer Charles Marq.

15. Musée de la Reddition

It’s hardly common knowledge, but Germany’s official surrender at the end of the Second World War was signed in the Reims’ Lycée Franklin-Roosevelt on 7 May 1945. The museum commemorating the event was opened 40 years later and is packed with military memorabilia, photographs, medals and framed newspaper from the momentous date.

You’ll discover which military units were positioned in Reims at the time, and how this technical college game to be used as General Eisenhower’s headquarters.

The very room where the document was signed has been untouched since the surrender 70 years ago.

8 Top Champagne Houses in Reims, France

Wine lovers visiting Paris often choose to take a day trip to Reims for Champagne tasting. Getting there via train from Paris is actually very easy and quick. Then you’ll have the rest of the day to enjoy the bubbles at a few of the top Champagne houses in Reims.

Reims is the center of the Champagne world in France. You can visit world-famous estates in Reims and Epernay , such as Veuve Clicquot, Pommery, and Taittinger, or check out the smaller Champagne houses you may not have heard of.

All you’ll need are a few advanced appointments, your walking shoes (or a quick Uber ride), and enough time to do it justice.

Below you’ll find all you need to know about setting up and enjoying Champagne tours and tasting in Reims.

How to Visit the Champagne Region

The best way to discover the region is by driving The Champagne Trail, which covers over 250 miles that wind through rolling hills, along vineyard covered valleys and past quaint little villages. All along the way you can stop to visit the growers and winemakers, to taste Champagne, and to learn as much as you like about the tradition.

There are two main cities in the Champagne region to visit, and the Champagne trail will take you between the two within just a 30 minute drive. In Reims, you can visit world-famous Champagne houses, such as Veuve Clicquot, Pommery, and Taittinger.

In Epernay, you can spend some time walking along the Avenue de Champagne, popping in at tasting rooms along the way. The easiest way to get to the Champagne region is by car from Paris. If you’re already visiting, you can rent a car in Paris and take a day or overnight trip to Champagne.

You can take the train from Paris to Reims, but it’s not very easy to get around to the Champagne houses without a car, and you’ll definitely need a car to visit the countryside or to go into Epernay. Below you’ll find all you need to know to plan a road trip in the Champagne region, for wine tours and tasting.

Self-Guided or Group/Private Wine Tour

The first consideration you’ll probably be making is whether you want to do a self-guided or a group/private guided wine tour. If you don’t have a designated driver, or don’t wish to spit the wine instead of drinking it, you will need to take a tour or hire a driver.

There are many to choose from. You can go on a group tour, which are plentiful, often including up to 10 people and are on a pre-planned route that you can’t decide on. Tours typically go to great wineries and there’s a lot of information given, many include lunch – plus you don’t have to take care of a single detail.

Below are two group tours we recommend:

• Small Group Full Day Tour – Your go to three different Champagne houses, where you’ll try a variety of champagnes. There’s also an included three-course lunch along the way. (8 hours)  BOOK HERE
• Reims Afternoon Tour to Epernay – Visit the UNESCO-listed Champagne Avenue in Epernay, the historic village of Hautvillers, and visit two Champagne houses for tastings. (4.5 hours)  BOOK HERE

Private Tour

If you don’t want to go along with a bunch of other people and you’d like to have some say in the schedule, then a private tour is the way to go. Here are two that we recommend (in case there’s not a lot of availability).

What’s Included:

• First Visit – Explanation of the manufacturing process plus cave visit followed by a tasting of 3 Champagnes.
• Visit Hautvillers, the village where Dom Pérignon created Champagne.
• 3-Course Restaurant Lunch
• 2nd & 3rd Visits – A Grand Cru cellar and cave followed by a tasting of 3 Champagnes at each

Tour is 8 hours, 2 people minimum. $375/pp

What’s included:

• Return transport from Reims in a private shuttle (Mercedes Class V).
• English-speaking driver/guide, Champagne expert
• Visit & tasting at 2 Champagne houses
• Guided tour of Reims Cathedral
• Lunch reservation (payment not included)

Tour is 7 hours, 2 people minimum $599/pp

Self-Guided Tour

I usually prefer to do self-guided touring when I visit wine regions because it gives me the greatest flexibility and I actually really like researching and choosing the wineries I want to go to.

While there is a little more work involved because you have to set up all the tours yourself, there are tools that will help make this super easy. The one I use is called  Rue des Vignerons . It’s a French website that makes booking wine appointments super easy.

The site has 450 wineries and distilleries, both family-owned and famous houses, that includes 1,500 bookable experiences, including tastings, tours, workshops, and meals. You can book online up to 30 minutes before and your appointment is confirmed instantly. This is the website I used to book all of my Bordeaux tasting appointments.

In our descriptions below, I will give you links directly to Rue des Vignerons for each winery so you can easily book it.

The Pommery Elizabethan-style estate was built in the 19th century by the lady of the house, Jeanne Pommery. It is one of the most archtecturally stunning estates you can visit today. Pommery is also one of the biggest Champagne house today, producing over 500,000 cases of Champagne a year.

You’ll definitely want to stop here for a tour to see the ancient Roman caves and art nouveau tasting rooms. The chalk cave cellars are equally impressive, and can be access from an incredible staircase worth seeing – it’s 116 steps down to the cellars!

Your tour will end with a tasting of one of the famous Pommery Champagnes. There are various tours you can take at Pommery. Be sure to book in advance.  The tours are given in English, French, and German.

2. Champagne Taittinger

Location:  À la table de Thibaud IV – Champagne Taittinger, 20 rue de Tambour, 51100 Reims

Another Champagne house with an impressive chalk cave that has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, Taittinger will stun you from the moment you arrive at the impressive entrance gates.

Unfortunately, their main location is currently closed, but you can still visit Demeure des Comtes de Champagne in the center of Reims and try the tasting experience called “À la table de Thibaud IV”.

The experience is meant to showcase the life of Thibaud the fourth, King of Navarre, who was also a poet, while tasting the two signature cuvées of the House: the Brut Réserve and the Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs.

#3 Champagne Lanson

Champagne Lanson is the only big House located in the heart of Reims that offers a unique visit experience that takes you on a journey from the vine to the flute. Their tour guides you on a journey through the different stages of the wine making process, providing a truly immersive experience.

You’ll see the vineyards, then be guided to the “Clos Lanson”, then to the various places where the cuvees are made, passing through the cuveries and finally to the cellars. The tour will be followed by a tasting of the House’s emblematic cuvée: Le Black Création 257.

Tours lasts approximately 2 hours and are available in both English and French.

Located just around the corner from Veuve Clicquot and Taitttinger is another top Champagne house that offers tours and tastings: GH Martel & Co . This Champagne house also has a medieval chalk quarries, which was dug between the 4th and 15th centuries, and it is open to the public for tours.

As you descend into the cellar, at a depth of up to 22 meters, you’ll see their interesting collection of wine-making tools and machinery. The tour begins with a film, then leads you through the cellars and the ecomuseum, and then to their shop where you’ll taste 3 Champagnes.

They often have specials and deals available on their large range of wines, in case you’re looking for some steals to take back home with you. The tour and tasting takes about 1 hour. If you don’t have the time for a full tour, you can stop into the wine shop for a tasting at any time.

#5 Champagne Mumm

Location:  G.H. Mumm, 29 Rue du Champ de Mars, 51100 Reims, France Hours:  Daily 10am-1pm and 2pm-5:30 or 6pm, seasonally. Tours in French and English until 5:30pm Boutique available during opening hours Email: [email protected]

The House Mumm started in 1827 in the historic birthplace of the Champagne, Reims. This almost bicentenary estate opens the doors of its cellars where about 25 million bottles rest peacefully in the cellars.

The Mumm family, whose lineage includes barons and knights, dates back to the 12th century. They were originally wine merchants based in Cologne, Germany, but expanded into France when they saw potential for the region and expansion of their business. They’ve been going strong ever since.

Today Mumm is spread across nearly 25 kilometers in the heart of Reims. Visitors can explore the long history of this cellar and learn about the process they’ve followed for centuries.

There are three visit types: The Cordon Rouge Mumm experience, the discovery experience, and the 100% Grand Cru experience. The visit will end at one of the most beautiful museum about champagne. Afterward, you will have the opportunity to taste their Champagnes.

#6 Champagne Charles de Cazanove

Champagne Charles de Cazanove has been in business since 1811, and its production is 3 million bottles per year. It can be quite interesting visiting a large house like this to learn the Champagne making process. The facility was built in 2019, so it’s very modern.

You can book a tasting only, or embark on one of their three tours, which takes you to their production facility and give you an explanation of the process, along with a demonstration in their eco-museum.

The tour will be followed by a comparative tasting of 3 non-vintage Champagnes (2 whites and 1 rosé) or you can add on a vintage tasting as well.

#7 Champagne Pol Couronne

Champagne Pol Couronne was started in 2015. This family-owned champagne house, located in the historic city of Reims, offers a private tour and tasting in their showroom, so you can get an intimate look into the meticulous craft of champagne-making.

The personalized tastings here are exceptional. Your palate is in for a treat. Each sip allows you to taste the terroir, skill, and passion that go into making each bottle. Champagne Pol Couronne offers a tasting of 3 Champagnes, or 3 Grand Cru Champagnes

They also offer a Champagne masterclass and a sabering experience, if you’re looking for something more unique.

#8 Veuve Clicquot

Location: 1 Place des Droits de l’Homme, 51100 Reims, France Hours: Tuesday to Saturday 10am-5pm Phone:  +33 (0)3 26 89 53 90 Email: [email protected]

You’ve likely already heard of this Champagne brand, as it’s one of the most popular Champagnes being sold around the world. In case you’re thinking that means it’s not worth a visit to this Champagne house because it will be too touristy, we don’t think that’s an issue.

In fact, this was one of our favorite Champagne tours in Reims. The underground cellars of Veuve Clicquot might be one of the main reasons we love it here so much. The cellars are classified as a UNESCO World Heritage sight.

That’s not surprising when you learn that they’ve been making wine since 1772. In 1909, they bought these old underground quarrys to store their wine. There is some fascinating history in these caves, which you’ll learn all about during the tour.

After the tour of the cellar and facilities, you’ll have a chance to try the Champagne. There are a few different tickets you can purchase. Click here to see them all.

• Discovery Tour – 26€:  45min tour followed by a single tasting of Yellow Label Brut 26€. This tour is available Tuesday to Saturday.
• On the Footsteps of Madame Clicquot – 53€:  1 hr tour where you’ll learn all about Madame Clicquot, followed by a tasting of the Brut Yellow Label and prestige Cuvée La Grande Dame.
• Veuve Clicquot & Rose Champagne – 40€: In 1818, Madame Clicquot was the first to make a rose champagne blend, which changed the landscape of Champagne for ever. Learn all about the Rose on this 45 min tour, followed by a tasting.

Other Champagne Houses Nearby

Not too far away from Reims, there are many more opportunities for Champagne tasting. If you’re going to be in the area, I would definitely recommend stopping by a few of these:

Pressoria is the brand new sensory interpretation center for champagne wines. Housed in the walls of a former Pommery pressing center in the commune of Aÿ, the immersive tour of this emblematic cultural site will help you rediscover champagne through your five senses.

Villa Signolle

A family-run business since 1802, they offer specialist champagnes for experts and amateurs alike. They do the harvesting, handling and winemaking of all their own grapes, from one of the best terroirs in the Champagne region. Their villa is on the Avenue de Champagne in Epernay. You can taste on their terrace or in the lounge, inside a house listed as a UNESCO heritage site.

Champagne Le Gallais

In 1927, Hachod Fringhian, the grandfather of Charlotte Morgain Le Gallais, obtained the Clos du Château de Boursault, which had long belonged to Madame Veuve Clicquot. Five generations later, Charlotte runs part of the estate: 7 parcels with their own characteristics, in the family vineyard, overlooking the Marne valley. The press, the cellars and the wine storehouses are also located in the clos, which guarantees a great freshness of the fruit at the time of its pressing and transformation.

You can get to Reims from Paris by taking the TGV train. From anywhere in Paris, just get yourself to the East Railway Station. You can take the Paris subway to arrive at this station. This makes it very easy to visit Reims, no matter where in Europe you’re arriving from.

You don’t have to have tickets for the train in advance, but during busy times we do recommend buying them in advance to make sure you can get a seat. There have been times that the train has been full and we’ve had to take the next one. You can purchase tickets in advance on Trainline.com .

The train journey to Reims is only about 45 minutes. If you plan to go to Epernay – another of the nearby major Champagne cities – you can continue on from Reims on the TER train, which departs every 30 minutes and takes around 40 minutes to get there.

How to Get Around in Reims

One of the big questions that is often asked by tourists coming to Reims on a day trip from Paris is how to get around to the Champagne house. There are three convenient ways to get around. You can choose your method based on your own needs:

• Walk: It’s actually quite easy to walk around Reims. The biggest hurtle is getting from the train station (or center of Reims) to the area where you find most of the Champagne houses. This is about a 2 mile walk (40 mins). If you don’t want to take this initial walk, you can take a quick Uber or taxi ride from the train station. We recommend starting at Veuve Clicquot, as it’s the furthest way from town (2 miles). To walk between any of the 5 Champagne houses mentioned, it will take you about 5 minutes or less.
• Uber or Taxi: If you can’t or don’t want to walk, you can take an uber or taxi from the train station to any of the Champagne houses. Once you’re ready to go on to the next, you can call another Uber or taxi to take you there.
• Rent a car: There is a convenient place near the train station to rent a car for the day. In fact, it’s just a few steps outside the door to the train station. It’ll cost around 40€ to rent a car for a day. We recommend using Expedia to book your rental car .

If you’re staying overnight in Reims, you’ll quickly learn that there isn’t a huge selection of hotels. We stayed at  Best Western Premier Hotel de la Paix . If you’re looking for a more luxury stay, try the  Chateau Les Crayeres .

⇒ Be sure to check out our list of the drinks you should try in France . There’s so much more to enjoy beyond the Champagne.

See the map below for directions to your Reims Champagne tours.

Once you’ve visited a few of these top Champagne tours in Reims, you’ll have a much better understanding of how Champagne is made and the history behind the industry and their unique stories.

It’s a great way to expand your knowledge of the craft and appreciate it even more than you probably already do. If you have a favorite Champagne house you want to share with our readers, leave us a comment!

Thank you so much for this perfect trip plan! Sooooo helpful 🙂

Glad you found it useful!

Thank you so much for your tips! Were there any bakeries nearby to grab a snack or light lunch between tastings? I seem to only be able to see these closer to the train yet am keen to do both Pommery & Veuve tastings (and will clearly needs some food between these!)

There are a few cheese shops and bakeries in town, but not right near the Champagne houses. I would recommend picking up some cheese, bread, pastries and taking them with you, so you don’t have to find something in between.

We’re planning an overnight in Reims next month – do you have any favorite places for dinner?

We really enjoyed L’Atelier and L’Alambic, which has a fun environment.

Are children (age 13) allowed on these tours? Thanks so much for the article! Very helpful.

Yes, they are allowed.

Do you have to book a tour or can you just show up and do a tasting? We are planning a day trip for Christmas Eve. We have a tour and tasting booked for Veuve Clicquot but wanted to be able to try one or two others without doing the tour.

For most places you need to book a tour. Not many just do tastings. However, if they do you would still likely need to make a reservation for Christmas Eve. Send them an email and ask what they offer. Veuve Clicquot is actually one that offers just tastings.

Great information, thank you for your detail! I’m planning a visit, but having trouble locating information for a tour at Laurent Perrier. Do you happen to know if they do tours?!

Hi Ashley, I think that tours may be closed to the public at this time. I couldn’t find any current tour information either.

We are considering doing some biking while visiting. Question…should we do Reims on foot one day and bike to Epernay day 2? Or, would a bike in the city be an asset or a hinderance? We wish to do lots of champagne tasting and plan on visiting both areas. We are only there two full days.

Melissa, I think a bike would be a great asset in both places. If only one day, I would bike around Reims and walk around Epernay, but you can definitely bike both. It’s about a 28-mile cycle between and easy roads.

Another nice address is Champagne Roger-Constant Lemaire, we tasted 4 our delicious champagnes and we plan to go back next year. They are situated in a village called Villers sous Châtillon between Reims and Epernay.

Fantastic! Thanks for the suggestion, Chris.

Ultimate Champagne Tasting in Reims Guide (2024)

Visiting Champagne is always a good idea. For those who love bubbly and want to immerse themselves in the culture, history, and flavors of this delightful beverage, you know you’ve got to pay a visit to the largest city in the region: Reims. To help you plan the perfect trip, this is the ultimate Champagne tasting in Reims guide! 

I recently spent 4 days exploring the ins and outs of both Epernay and Reims and can honestly say, “Wow!” 

Did I feel a bit like a bubble after those 4 days? Yes, but it was honestly such a great experience to try various Champagnes ranging from large and smaller houses to everything in between. 

So let’s talk about everything you need to know about Champagne tasting in Reims including the best Champagne houses to visit in Reims, best tours, fun facts, and even a sample 1-day itinerary! 

What is Champagne?

There are many ways to visit Champagne, so let’s talk about how to best explore Reims! 

First things first, what is Champagne? Aside from being a wine region in France located in the Grand Est, it is a delightful sparkling wine that is made in the Champagne region. 

You’ve probably heard that Champagne is only called Champagne if it is made in this region of France, and that is true. But it also has to be made using the Traditional Method or Methode Traditionelle. 

This means that there is a second fermentation process, where yeast and sugar are added to the bottle with the wine and it is fermented a second time in the bottle. Then, after aging, the bottles go through riddling, which is a process where the bottles are angled down and then turned each day until the dead yeast cells (lees) settle in the neck of the bottle.

Then, through a process called disgorging, the neck is frozen and the lees are removed. And finally, sugar can be added to the wine before it is sealed again.

This process makes the lovely Champagne that we know and love today. 

Can you find other sparkling wines in France made this way? Of course! Only it will be called Cremant rather than Champagne. 

• Grapes used in the production of Champagne are typically Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier
• Vineyards have been planted in Champagne since Roman times
• Before the Traditional Method of Champagne making became popular in Champagne, it was known as a fault for the wine to be effervescent. Later on, it became popular amongst royals and winemakers started trying to produce sparkling Champagne
• Dom Perignon helped perfect the Champagne making process
• Madade Cliquot invented the process of riddling to get rid of the dead yeast cells in the wine

Alright, now that you have a brief history and understanding of how Champagne is made, let’s talk about Champagne tasting in Reims specifically. 

There are Champagne houses all over the region, with grapes coming from the 5 subregions: Montage de Reims, the Marne Valley, Cote des Blancs, Cotes de Sezanne, and Cotes des Bar. 

I’ll mention a few Champagne tours you can take from Reims to other houses in the countryside, but for now, let’s talk about the best Champagne houses in Reims you can visit. 

4 rue des Crayères, Reims

If there is one Champagne house that you must visit in Reims, definitely head to Maison Ruinart . This is the oldest established Champagne house. In fact, their cellars are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

The house began in 1729, and the cellars are actually located in old Roman chalk quarries. I went on this tour on my recent visit to Reims and it was epic!

First of all, the cellars were incredible and you could see old mine steps! They also have an art installation in the largest quarry. Definitely book a tour to see it during your time in Reims. 

They also do brunches on weekends for €80 for adults and €45 for kids under 18. 

Tour Price: €75 for adults. Includes 2 tastings of their Champagne. 

Residence of the Counts of Champagne, 20 rue de Tambour, 51100 Reims

The origins of this Champagne house date back to 1734, with the founder, Jacques Fourneaux, working closely with Benedictine monks to learn how to make Champagne. 

In 1932, Pierre Taittinger acquired the estate and changed the name. This place also has cellars made from old Roman chalk mines, and they are one of the largest producers of Champagne. 

They are not currently offering tours of the cellars, but they plan to begin the tours again in July 2024 after renovations. You can, however, go on a virtual tour of the cellars .

They do offer tastings which include 2 of their Champagnes to taste. 

Tasting Price: Starts at €37 per person. 

1 rue Albert Thomas, 51100 Reims

Veuve Cliquot is always a super recognizable bottle. That iconic yellow label can be spotted far away. So why not visit where it is made in Reims?

Not only is the bottle iconic, but we can thank the widow Madam Cliquot herself for many things about Champagne today! For starters, after her husband passed away, she took over the wine business. “Veuve” in French actually means “widow.”

She is credited with creating the first vintage Champagne where all the grapes in the bottle are from the same year versus blended with other years. She also invented the riddling table to get rid of the lees. 

Learn more about her life and accomplishments, as well as visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site chalk cellars during a tour. 

There are quite a few tours offered here, including the Yellow Label tour, blended rose tour, La Grande Dame tour, and more! Be sure to book a tour with a cellar visit! Each includes a tasting of their Champagne. 

Tour Price: Starts at €35. 

5 Place du Général Gouraud, 51100 Reims

This is definitely a popular spot to check out, mostly because you can do a self-guided tour of the Pommery Champagne house in Reims. 

Plus, this house also has a strong female history, with Madame Pommery inventing the first Brut Champagne, a drier Champagne.

With UNESCO World Heritage Site Gallo-Roman chalk cellars, it is definitely worth a visit. Learn about the wine-making process and the history of the house with a self-guided digital and audio tour. There is also a contemporary art exhibition to witness. 

The tour also wraps up with a glass of Pommery Brut Royal Champagne. 

And if you want to have a tasting and lunch, you could book the Gastronomic Visit where you will go on a guided tour and end at the restaurant with a food and Champagne pairing. 

Tour Price: Starts at €27 for adults. 

11 Cours Jean-Baptiste Langlet, 51100 Reims

Located close to the famous Reims Cathedral, you can book a tasting at the boutique of Pol Couronne . 

While you could certainly just do a tasting or split a bottle to enjoy either inside or outside, the best thing you can do is book the sabrage.

Sabrage is the art of opening a bottle of Champagne with a saber. This place is the only one in Reims to let you do this! We did this during our last visit and it was so much fun and easier than I thought it would be. 

Oh, and after you’ve popped the Champagne you get to enjoy it. 

Tasting Price: Starts at €28 for 3 tastings. The sabrage starts at €52. 

34 rue du Champ de Mars, 51100 Reims

Another popular Champagne house in Reims, you can schedule a visit which includes a tasting. The history of this house dates back to 1827, and you can visit their lovely cellars and have a tasting during a tour. 

Their tours help you understand Champagne from the inside. Learn more about the house and wine during a tour . 

Tour Price: Starts at €28.

66 Rue de Courlancy, 51100 Reims

Another one of the oldest Champagne houses in Reims, it was founded in 1760, and their Champagnes are enjoyed in over 80 countries.

There are a few tours that you can book here , and they share their history as well as how they get their grapes all the way from the vine to the flute. This is definitely one of the best Champagne houses to visit in Reims. 

Tour Price: Starts at €32.

17 Rue des Créneaux, 51100 Reims

This smaller Champagne house sits in the middle of the city. It also has chalk pits that date back to the Medieval period, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Visits here include a visit to the cellars as well as 3 tastings of their Champagne.

Tour Price: €25. 

Best Champagne Tours in Reims

Honestly, you could book and go to most of the Champagne houses on your own. Many are either walkable or you could take a short taxi or Uber ride. And many houses are fairly close together including Pommery, Veuve Cliquot, and Ruinart Champagne. 

However, if you are short on time or want someone else to handle all the logistics, here are a few tours you can take of Reims Champagne houses. 

This tour is for those who only have time to take a day trip from Paris. Thankfully, as Paris is only about 45 minutes away via train and 1.5 hours via car, it really is fairly easy to visit here on a day trip. 

This trip takes you from Paris to Reims where you’ll visit 2 Champagne houses and have tastings at each and a local restaurant or winery for a 3-course lunch. 

Book it here!

Enjoy tastings at 2 Champagne houses, Pommery and Veuve Cliquot, as well as tour their cellars during this tour of Reims. The tour also includes a 3-course lunch with a Champagne aperitif. 

Want to get out of the city and explore Champagne a little deeper? Then, definitely book this tour where you’ll see Avenue de Champagne in Eperany, explore the historical village of Hautvillers, ride through a UNESCO vineyard, enjoy a cellar visit with tastings, and have a local lunch with Champagne.

Want to learn about the history of Sabrage and even open your own bottle of Champagne with the saber? This is a great workshop that goes into the art of sabrage. 

Want a private tour with your friends or family around Champagne from Reims? This is a great tour that includes stops at Hautvillers Abbey, Avenue de Champagne, a vineyard, and a winery and has plenty of tastings.

Perfect 1-Day Reims Itinerary Including the Best Champagne Houses in Reims

If you only have a full day to explore Reims, then you better do it right! Here is a quick 1-day itinerary for Reims. 

Start out the morning with a quick stop for breakfast and coffee at a bakery. You’ll need something on your stomach before a day of sipping Champagne. 

Then, head to the Reims Cathedral . This is definitely a must-visit during your Reims itinerary as it is where the French kings were coronated. 

This Gothic cathedral has origins dating back to the 5th Century, but the currently constructed cathedral was completed in the 14th Century. 

After a visit to the Reims Cathedral, head to Champagne Ruinart for a tour of their cellars and tasting. We booked the 10:45 am tour when we went. But the earlier the tour the better, so that you can enjoy your 2 tastings and lunch today.

Once you’ve wrapped up your Champagne Ruinart tour, I recommend grabbing lunch down the street at Le Refrectoire at Pommery for a lovely meal paired with a glass of their Champagne. 

Then, I recommend booking the afternoon visit of Veuve Cliquot for the Yellow Label tour. Make sure you have enough time between Ruinart, lunch, and this!

After that, book a later sabrage with Pol Couronne to wrap up your time tasting in Champagne. 

Once you’ve enjoyed your Champagne tastings in Reims, I recommend Brasserie Le Boulingrin for dinner and perhaps grab a glass of Dom Perignon at the rooftop bar at Restaurant Gabrielle Toit Terrasse . 

I recommend spending a full day and night in Reims to get the most out of your experience here. Here is where to stay based on your budget:

Budget: VRBO

Reims can get pricey when it comes to hotels, so you can definitely check out Airbnb or VRBO for great home rentals. This rental is in the downtown area and has all the comforts of home. 

Mid-Range: Best Western Premier Hotel de la Paix

Located in the heart of Reims near the cathedral, this is a great place to base yourself for exploring. It also has modern rooms, a cocktail lounge, a sauna, and an indoor heated pool. 

Luxury: La Caserne Chanzy Hote & Spa

This is where I stayed last time in Reims, and honestly, it was because I had Marriott points and this is a Marriott hotel. However, it was amazing! Not only did I have a room with the best view of the Reims Cathedral, but it was just a great location overall. They also have a lovely spa with a hammam, sauna, pool, and a place for a massage and other spa treatments. 

Here are a few other things to know before you go Champagne tasting in Reims:

• Book tastings and tours in advance! It can be a bit busy, and tours and tastings fill up quickly. I recommend booking everything in advance if you can. This isn’t like other wine regions in France where you can just show up. Most tours require a reservation, and many need a reservation for tastings too. I suggest booking directly on their website, or with Champagne-booking.com . 
• How many Champagne houses can you see in a day? 2-3 is the most you really want to do in a day. You need to allocate time to get to each place, and tours can last between 1-2 hours. But, if you have lunch at one with a restaurant, like Pommery, you can sneak in a taste of their Champagne but during a meal rather than a full tour. 
• When to visit: May through October is generally the best time to visit Champagne. The weather tends to be better this time of year, and you can even witness the harvest in September. However, April was when I visited and I found it far less crowded and still lovely. Just dress warmly as it is a chillier region of France.
• Reims Champagne tours which are best? Personally, my favorite was the OG: Champagne Ruinart. I loved the presentation of the Champagne as well as the epic cellar tour. 
• How long do you need to visit Reims? At least a full day, but I highly recommend spending a couple of days to really get to see the city sites as well as visit Champagne houses. 
• How long should you visit Champagne? I spent 4 days between Epernay and Reims and, while I felt like it was a great amount of time for both cities, I feel like another couple of days would’ve been perfect to explore the countryside.
• How to get to Reims: You can easily get to Reims thanks to the train station. Fly into Paris and take the 45-minute train to the city. You can also rent a car and drive from Paris. 
• How to get around Reims and Champagne: You can mostly walk around Reims, but some Champagne houses can be on the other side of the city, so calling a taxi or Uber is a good idea. For visits to the countryside, you can either rent a car , go on a tour, or hire a private driver . DO NOT drink and drive! Always have a sober driver if you plan to drive yourselves. 

I hope this helps you when it comes to planning your Reims itinerary and going Champagne tasting in Reims! Which Champagne house in Reims would you most like to visit?

Hi there very helpful blog…… do you have the correct address for Champagne Pommery? When I enter it in Google Maps it shows a location in Bordeaux! Perhaps a Google Maps glitch. Greg

Hi Greg, and thank you! There are a lot of roads that are copied in cities, so if you just type in the street address and not the city, it’ll likely take you somewhere else. If you put in the address with Reims, it should pop up.

Thank you so much for your post. It was very helpful! Thanks to your recommended timeline, we have a train booked from Paris (April 2024) to arrive at Reims at 9:15am. 10:45am appt at Ruinart and a 3pm at Lanson. We wanted to go to Pommery as well but weren’t sure we’d have time between those two appointments to do the full tour/tasting (since we also need to eat lunch) …so we took your advice to book a lunch at Pommery’s Le Réfectoire at 1pm instead since it’s nextdoor to Ruinart and then we can at least try the Pommery champagne with lunch. Question: We only have 2 hours at Pommery before our 3pm at Lanson. I was really hoping to see the Pommery cellars. They allow for a self-guided tour ticket at 2pm. Do you think 1 hour is long enough for the lunch and is 45 min enough time to walk the cellars (i’m assuming self-guided tour, we can do it on our own time). Then we’d uber to our 3pm Lanson reservation. (Unfortunately Lanson only offers 3pm tours, nothing later). Thanks so much!

Hi Beverly! Thanks so much for reading! And yes, we didn’t have time to see Pommery either so we grabbed lunch there and is was delicious! I’ll say that to be safe, I wouldn’t book the Pommery Tour ahead of time. It is self-guided, so chances are if it isn’t busy (which when I went last year it wasn’t in April but you never know) you can check it out before going to your next tasting, but in France, lunches can take up some time. That way, if you are running late and need to go straight to Lanson you aren’t out of money. But the Ruinart tour will also include a cellar visit, so you’ll get to experience the historic cellars while in Reims. I hope this helps and have fun!

One Day in Reims – The Perfect Itinerary

• By Jen Ciesielski
• Updated: 4 December 2023
• 10 December 2022

One day in Reims can be summed up in three words – champagne, coronations, and cathedrals. This charming town is part of the Champagne-Ardenne region of northeastern France, less than an hour from Paris. It’s the perfect day trip for anyone looking to indulge in history while sipping a glass of France’s finest wine. And if you’re visiting Paris in summer , one day in Reims is a must!

So, to help you plan your trip, I’ve put together the ultimate itinerary. This guide to spending one day in Reims includes famous sites like the Reims Cathedral, the Carnegie Library, and the Musée de la Reddition. But that’s not all! You’ll tour champagne houses and sample the best wines in the region. It’s a trip that will leave you amazed, impressed, and probably a little tipsy.

Below I’ve compiled the best things to do in Reims in one day. It’s a very packed itinerary. So, get ready to explore!

The city is small enough that you can visit everything on foot, but, if you prefer, there’s plenty of public transportation. It’s like one of the towns in Alsace , minus the half-timbered houses.

1. Marvel at the Reims Cathedral

Built in the 12th century, the Reims Cathedral (or the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims) is a masterpiece of stunning French Gothic architecture. It’s even considered one of the most beautiful churches in France !

At first glance, it’s easy to see why the kings of France were crowned here. The outside is adorned with intricate carvings that hold your gaze. Then, there’s the inside. The ceiling stretches to the heavens while the stained-glass windows bathe the altar in an ethereal light. And of all the magnificence, the rose windows are undoubtedly the most awe-inspiring.

In 1991, the Reims Cathedral was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. So, if there’s one thing you must see while in town, this is it.

Address : Place du Cardinal Luçon

2. Tour the Musée de la Reddition

Located in the former Allied headquarters, the Musée de la Reddition tells the story of the German surrender at the end of World War II.

You’ll wander through a museum filled with photographs, documents, uniforms, and war replicas. There’s even a short documentary film (offered in French and English).

But the most moving of all the exhibits is the infamous ‘map room.’

You enter through a small corridor. The walls, of which, are covered in the original Allied strategic maps. As you turn left, your eyes follow the maps eventually arriving to a narrow wooden table. It was at this very place that Nazi Germany surrendered on 07 May 1945.

To date, it’s my favorite museum in the country, and this is coming from someone who has been living in France for a long time!

• Wednesday – Monday: 10:00 am – 6:00 pm
• Closed Tuesday

Address : 12 Rue du Président Franklin Roosevelt

3. Gaze at La Porte de Mars

La Porte de Mars is one of four gates that served as an entrance to Reims during the Roman era. It dates to the third century and is said to be the widest arch ever built by the Romans.

This marvelous gate is at the northern entrance of the Les Hautes Promenades. So, if you’re spending one day in Reims, why not bring lunch, enjoy the scenery, and learn some history?

Address : Place de la République

4. Admire the Carnegie Library of Reims

The Carnegie Library of Reims is most noted for its Art Deco architecture. And, while the exterior has a modern feeling, the interior is rather cozy. The floors, walls, and bookcases are all made of wood. It actually looks like an old public library from the United States. Not only that but it has a whopping number of books. 400,000 to be exact!

Spend an hour wandering through the never-ending rows of books and admiring the beautiful architecture. You won’t be disappointed!

Address : 2 Place Carnegie

5. Visit Palais du Tau

The Palais du Tau is located in the former palace of the Bishop of Reims next to the Reims Cathedral. In the time of the French monarchy, it served as the banquet hall after the coronation ceremony. Today, it houses some of the most magnificent artifacts in French history. From tapestries to crowns, it’s an impressive collection, to say the least.

• Tuesday – Sunday, Closed Monday
• 6 May to 8 September: 9:30 am – 6:30 pm
• 9 September to 5 May: 9:45 am – 12:30 pm and 2:00 pm – 5:15 pm

Address : 2 Place du Cardinal Luçon

6. Shop at Place Drouet d’Erlon

If you love shopping, be sure to check out Place Drouet d’Erlon. This beautiful square is full of restaurants, bars, cafés, and shops. Then, in the center lies a statue topped with a golden Wing of Victory. Shop until you drop or enjoy the city unfold while enjoying an espresso on one of the many terraces.

Address : Place Drouet d’Erlon

7. Meander around Basilique Saint-Remi

It’s no secret that the Reims Cathedral is the main attraction, but Basilique Saint-Remi holds its own. Stone-carved statues on the outside of the church are nothing short of impressive. And the interior is just as beautiful. Here stained glass windows, dating back to the 12th century, light up the church. But that’s not all! Basilique Saint-Remi is where Saint Remi, himself, is buried.

As you walk around the church, detailed descriptions of the church’s history are offered in both French and English.

Address : Rue Saint-Julien

8. Explore the Musée Automobile Reims Champagne

For something a little different head to the Musée Automobile Reims Champagne.

This museum was opened in 1985 to display the car collection of Philippe Charbonneaux , a French automobile designer. But it has since grown to accommodate an even wider selection. Today, it holds not only some of the rarest cars in the world, but also racecars, motorcycles, and even some toy cars. It’s a unique experience, to say the least!

• Wednesday – Monday, Closed Tuesday
• 01 May to 31 October: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm
• 01 November to 30 April: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Address : 84 Avenue Georges Clemenceau

9. Wander the Musée-Hôtel Le Vergeur

Built in the 13th century, this once hotel, now, houses the work of Hugues Kraft. He was a French photographer from the 18th century who traveled the world taking photos and collecting souvenirs. But, over the years, the number of has increased, thanks to the support of various donors. One such donation included the etchings of Albrecht Dürer , a German artist from the late 14th century. You can visit the museum and the gardens, both of which come with a guide.

Useful Tip : If you don’t have time to take a tour of the museum, you can visit the gardens for free on your own.

Hours : Sunday – Saturday: 10:00 am – 12:00 and 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm

Address : 36 Place du Forum

10. Visit the Cryptoportique

Under the Forum square lies buried galleries called the cryptoportique or cryptoporticus. They date back to the first century and still remain intact. Archeologists suspect that they were most likely used as a covered market. But the exact use of these passageways remains a mystery. Tours are free and the galleries are open year-round.

Useful Tip : The Forum is in the center of Reims, but it’s easy to miss. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled!

Address : 6 Place du Forum

11. Admire Place Royale

This royale square features a statue of Louis XV surrounded by beautiful stone buildings. It was inaugurated in 1765 and has since become a historical monument. It won’t take you more than a few minutes to visit Place Royale. But you can meander around the square, take in the views then stop in one of the many nearby shops.

Address : 5 Place Royale

12. Tour a Champagne House

No trip to Reims is complete without sampling some champagne. After all, this is the region where it’s produced! There are tons of champagne houses spread across the city. They all offer visits that include a guided tour of their facilities and an overview of their production process. Then, at the end of the visit, you can sample three of their champagnes.

On average, tours cost €30 and last about an hour.

So, which ones should you visit?

Below are some of the best champagne houses to visit in Reims:

• Mercier – Book your tour here .
• Champagne Veuve Clicquot – Book your tour here .
• Moët and Chandon – Book your tour here .

Useful Tip : Champagne tours are very popular in Reims, so it’s best to book in advance.

13. Check Out the Foujita Chapel

The stunning Foujita Chapel is one of the most unsuspecting monuments in Reims. Built in 1966, this tiny chapel has a simple, less-than-impressive exterior. The inside, however, is anything but. Here magnificent murals painted by Tsuguharu Foujita, a Japanese artist, cover the walls of the church. Since he was a Catholic convert, most of the frescos depict religious scenes and figures from Catholicism.

If you’re looking for a truly unique experience, the Foujita Chapel should be at the top of your list.

Hours : The church is only open for visits from May to October.

Address : 33 Rue du Champ de Mars

Reims is full of fantastic restaurants and there is no shortage of options. Below are a few favorites:

• Le Condorcet – An elegant brasserie with reasonable prices. They have a variety of dishes, including vegetarian options.

Is Reims Worth Visiting?

Reims is definitely worth visiting! The city is full of history , magnificent architecture, and fascinating museums. There is no shortage of things to do in Reims. It’s also a great addition to any eastern France itinerary. Plus, who can resist champagne?

Is Reims a walkable city?

Yes, Reims is a walkable city. The downtown area is very compact and most of the major attractions are not far from each other.

I explored the entire city on foot and found it very walkable. But if you need to use public transportation, buses and trams are available.

How much time do you need for Reims?

One day in Reims is the perfect amount of time. The city is small so it’s easy to see the main highlights as well as some unique attractions in one day. In fact, Reims is a great day trip from either Paris or Strasbourg.

Useful Tip : If you’re spending three days in Strasbourg , make sure to add Reims to your itinerary!

Which is better Reims or Rouen?

Reims and Rouen are both historic cities that are worth visiting. But if I had to choose one, I would pick Reims. It’s accessible from some of the most popular cities like Paris. Not only that but museums and attractions are phenomenal.

Is Champagne cheaper in Reims?

Champagne is not cheaper in Reims. But there is a way to save money. Many champagne houses have promotions. And, if you do a tour, they usually have a ‘buy six bottles get one free’ type of deal.

How is Reims pronounced in French?

Reims is pronounced “rance” in French. The “a” has a long nasally sound and the “ce” is said like an “s.” Another way to spell the pronunciation is “ra-s.”

Steeped in rich history and filled with jaw-dropping architecture, Reims is the perfect destination. The city is home to world-renowned museums and champagne, so what more can you ask for?

Spend the day touring cathedrals, indulging in history, and sipping some bubbly.

Make it a day trip or longer if you have more time. I recommend making a part of two week tour of the eastern part of France .

Either way, it’s guaranteed to be amazing. Make sure to use this guide to help plan your day in Reims!

What to Do in Reims, France

What to do in Reims? Here’s the list of the best things to do in Reims, France – places to visit and Reims attractions – with something for every traveler.

Visit Reims Cathedral

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Reims Cathedral (or Notre-Dame de Reims) is a must for any Reims trip. The Cathedral was a critical place in the country’s history, as it was the location for the coronation of the Kings of France.

Visiting the Reims Cathedral is a great free thing to do in Reims. The Cathedral saw some damage during the French Revolution, but the effects of war took a much greater toll during WWI when the building suffered German bombardments.

The Cathedral has gone through numerous renovations, and, in 2011, the city of Reims celebrated the Cathedral’s 800th birthday! Don’t miss the stained glass windows, behind the choir, designed by Marc Chagall: they are stunning!

Tour a Champagne House

Reims is one of the two most-visited cities in the Champagne region, alongside Épernay, mainly because of champagne wine. The list of best champagne houses in Reims includes names like Taittinger , Mumm , and Veuve Clicquot . No visit to Reims is complete without experiencing a champagne cellar tour with tastings!

Here are the top champagne tours with tastings:

• Champagne Ruinart Tour with Tastings
• Champagne Veuve Clicquot Tour with Tastings
• Taittinger Champagne Tour with Tastings
• Champagne Vranken-Pommery Tour with Tastings

We opted to visit Taittinger due to its reputation for having the most stunning caves (picture above). The tour of Taittinger lasts an hour and there are different pricing tiers. You will visit the cellars, learn about the art of champagne wine production, and of course, sample to your heart’s content!

Stroll around Palais du Tau

Another UNESCO World Heritage Site, Palais du Tau was formerly the residence of the Archbishop of Reims. Today, it houses a small art collection of stunning 16th-century tapestries as well as items from the Cathedral treasury and other items associated with the coronations of French Kings – the talisman of Charlemagne is even here!

Palais du Tau also hosts some of the city’s cultural events.

Address: 2 Place du Cardinal Luçon, Reims. Closed for works.

Check out Basilica Saint-Remi and Musée Saint-Remi

The Basilica Saint-Remi is always on the top of any list of Reims things to do. This is the largest Romanesque church in Northern France, with some parts dating back to the 11th century, and the second most important religious building in Reims.

The Basilica Saint-Remi hosts the relics of Saint-Remi, who baptized King Clovis (the first Christian King in France). King Louis IV is also buried here, among other lesser-known royal figures.

The interior of the church is just as exquisite as its exterior and is definitely one of the best things to see in Reims.

Housed in the former Abbey of Saint-Remi, attached to the basilica, the Musée Saint-Remi hosts a myriad of ancient relics and tapestries. The museum is divided into four sections. The first showcases the history of the abbey, along with a tapestry depicting the life of Saint-Remi. Next is the Gallo-Roman area, highlighting the ancient city of Reims. There is a permanent military exhibit, and finally, a collection of local items dating back to prehistoric times.

Address: 53 Rue Simon, Reims. The Museum is closed on Mondays.

Explore Fort de la Pompelle

Emblematic of the defense of Reims and WWI in northeast France, the Fort de la Pompelle Museum serves to remind us of crucial moments in its history, from 1883 to today.

Its impressive compilation of German helmets, uniforms, and everyday objects used by soldiers will submerge you in an impassioned place of remembrance that depicts the story of these men’s ordeals and the hardships of combat during WWI in the region.

Visit the Musée Automobile Reims-Champagne

Established in 1985 by Phillippe Charbonneaux, the Musée Automobile Reims-Champagne is one of the most interesting things to do in Reims. It showcases over 200 cars and motorcycles from 1908 to the present day.

In addition to displaying classic vehicles, the museum also strives to provide information regarding the rules and regulations regarding acquiring and driving classic cars.

Address: 84 Avenue Georges Clemenceau, Reims. Closed on Tuesdays

Get your Fine Art Fix at Musée des Beaux-Arts

Musée des Beaux-Arts is one of the many museums in Reims worth visiting. It touches all bases, covering all of the major European art movements.

The museum was founded in 1794 with artifacts seized during the French Revolution. Most of the pieces are Flemish, Dutch, and French paintings.

The museum is currently closed for relocation purposes and plans to reopen in 2023. The project was entrusted to Francisco Aires Mateus architecture studio and we can’t wait to see the museum’s new look!

Address: 8 Rue Chanzy, Reims. Closed for works (reopening in 2025)

Visit the Roman Portal, Porte de Mars

Dating back to the third century, La Porte de Mars (or Champe de Mars) is an ancient Roman triumph arch. It is comprised of three arches, on which the original carvings are still visible. The arches show depictions of Romulus and Remus, an agrarian scene, and Leda and the Swan.

La Champe de Mars is a great free thing to do in Reims.

Experience Reims’ History at Musée-hôtel Le Vergeur

The Musée-Hôtel le Vergeur is one of the oldest buildings in Reims and is listed as a Historical Monument. The museum hosts a collection of decorative works of art depicting the illustrious history of Reims.

Here, you can see some of the Reims ruins as well! If you want to see an ancient Roman horreum (or granary), stop next door to check out the Cryptoportique.

Address: 36 Place du Forum, Reims. Closed on Mondays.

Place Royale

Place Royale is a magnificent square in the center of Reims, built in 1757 in honor of King Louis XV. There is a large bronze statue of him in the center of the square, with one hand extended, symbolizing the protection of his people.

Place Royale is surrounded by gorgeous buildings with arcades and balustraded roofs and it is a great place for people-watching.

Admire the Art-Déco style of Bibliothèque Carnegie

Built with donations from Andrew Carnegie, the American steel mogul, the Carnegie Library in Reims showcases some brilliant examples of art deco ornamentation – just check out that lighting fixture! There is a large, semi-cylindrical reading room with parquet floors and large, stained-glass windows.

Checking out the décor at Bibliothèque Carnegie is absolutely one of the best free things to do in Reims!

Address: 2 Place Carnegie, Reims. The library is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Sample Reims’ Original Biscuit at Maison Fossier

Fossier Biscuits have been around since the late 17th century, and are considered to be the original biscuit-makers of Reims. They offer a variety of types of biscuits, however, they are most famous for their Biscuits Roses de Reims (Pink Biscuits from Reims).

A stop at Maison Fossier is a must when you visit Reims, especially if you are a foodie. This is a must-add item to your list of best things to do in Reims!

Taste Reims’ Regional Specialties

There’s no shortage of great places to eat in Reims. In fact, the city has many of its own specialties that are worth sampling while you’re here.

In addition to the Biscuits Roses de Reims, be sure to try the jambon de Reims (Reims’ ham) and the moutarde de Reims (Reims’ mustard) as well! And don’t forget to sample the locally produced Chaource, a soft, semi-crumbly sheep’s milk cheese.

Les Halles du Boulingrin (50 Rue de Mars, Reims) is a good place to start your food explorations, this covered market is a food lovers’ paradise! There’s an abundance of fresh produce from the region, mouth-watering baked goods, and locally produced food items. The covered market is the perfect place to grab a few things for a picnic if you’re not up for eating at a restaurant. The market is open Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

If you’re willing to shell out the cash, there are six Michelin-starred restaurants in the city ! Be sure to make reservations far in advance.

Visit the Room where Germany Surrendered during WWII

I’ve saved my personal favorite for last. Visiting Musée de la Reddition was by far the highlight of our trip to Reims. This is where WWII officially ended on 7 May 1945.

Discover this pivotal event that transpired secretly in the “map room” located in Lycée Roosevelt, in the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe, directed by General Eisenhower. Documents, uniforms, and artifacts bring the months that foreshadowed the capitulation of the Third Reich to life.

Stepping foot into the signature room, a significant locality in European history, was incredibly moving. The room symbolizes not only the end of a tragic period in history but also the beginning of a long process of reconciliation.

The cost of admission is 5,50 EUR, but worth much, much more. Prepare yourself for tears.

Address: 12 Rue du Président Franklin Roosevelt, Reims. Closed on Tuesdays.

And there you have it, our suggestion on what to do in Reims, France, and our best tips to get the most out of the city. With so many things to do in Reims, we are sure you will want to book your trip after reading this list.

Rouler à vélo entre amis, avec des collègues ou en famille, à travers des lieux inconnus, c'est tout le charme du Vélotour. Comme chaque année depuis 2021, l'événement fait étape à Reims à la fin du mois d'août. Rendez-vous donc ce dimanche 25 août, avec une météo qui s'annonce favorable pour les cyclistes, puisqu'un temps ensoleillé et une température autour de 20 degrés sont prévus dans la cité des sacres.

Le Vélotour est l'occasion de circuler tranquillement dans les rues de la ville tout en pénétrant dans des lieux qui ne se prêtent pas à première vue à la pratique du deux-roues. L'an passé, les participants avaient pu pédaler par exemple au bord de la pelouse du stade Auguste Delaune, entre les camions de pompiers de la caserne Marchandeau ou bien encore devant les rames de tramway du centre de maintenance Citura.

Pour cette édition 2024, le départ et l'arrivée auront lieu sur l'esplanade devant la Porte de Mars, à partir de 8h et jusqu'à 12h. La boucle de 17 km permettra notamment d'arpenter les halles du Boulingrin, la maison de Champagne Mumm, la friche artistique de la Fileuse, les lycées Roosevelt et Colbert ainsi que le Centre des congrès. Pour ceux qui voudront prolonger l'effort et le plaisir, une boucle optionnelle d'1,5 km traversera le tiers-lieu du Shed, et une autre boucle optionnelle de 3,5 km le stade Auguste Delaune et le complexe René Tys.

Pour participer, il faut bien entendu être muni de son vélo, électrique ou pas, et s'inscrire au préalable sur le site du Vélotour.

Sur la billetterie en ligne, des places sont encore disponibles pour des départs entre 8h et 9h et entre 11h et 12h. Il vous en coûtera 15 euros pour un adulte, 7,50 euros pour les moins de 12 ans.
