Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
World Heritage
Coteaux, Maisons et Caves de Champagne
Between Hautvillers, Reims and Épernay, Champagne is told in the hillsides, cellars dug under chalk and houses aligned on the avenue de Champagne. The visit connects the vine, the second fermentation in bottle and the trading places that gave the wine effervescent its radiance.
Cathedral
Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims
The Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Reims is impressed by its facade, populated by statues, including an angel with a smile, and by the calm height of its nave. The stained glass windows, from ancient windows to Chagall's creations, give inside a changing light that accompanies a visit early or late in the day.
Palace
Palais du Tau
Backed by the cathedral, the Palais du Tau brings backstage the royal sacres of Reims. There are reception rooms, tapestries, sculptures deposited in the cathedral and objects related to ceremonies, with a rare proximity between religious heritage and monarchical power.
Wine estate
Maison Ruinart
The Maison Ruinart This is a discreet landmark where the architecture and geometry of accesses tell as much as the local history. By observing the entrances and proportions of the interior garden, the visit becomes concrete. A soft light avoids the over-institutional effect and reveals the materials.
