Reims, known as the Cité des Sacres and Ville du Champagne, is eager to let you discover the heritage of its history and to immerse you in the refined world of champagne, the most famous and festive wine.
Notre Dame de Reims Cathedral is a masterpiece of Gothic art, built from 1211 onwards. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it has witnessed the coronations of the kings of France for over 1,000 years. With its impressive facades, colorful stained glass windows and magnificent ceiling rose, it offers an unforgettable spectacle, symbolizing both the spirituality and artistic expertise of the medieval era. Adorned with 2,303 sculpted motifs, Reims Cathedral is the only church to feature angels with outstretched wings, including the famous Ange au Sourire.
