About Reims
Reims, the city of Champagne, is known for the cathedral where French kings were crowned and for the chalk cellars beneath its champagne houses.
Reims Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece of the thirteenth century, was the coronation church of most French kings, and its façade is covered in statues, including the Smiling Angel. Inside, stained-glass windows by Marc Chagall glow in the apse. Beside it, the Palais du Tau, the former archbishop's palace, holds treasures from the coronations, and the Basilica of Saint-Remi shows earlier Romanesque and Gothic work.
Top-ranked sights in Reims: Reims Cathedral of Notre Dame (Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims), Pommery Champagne (Domaine Pommery), House of Mumm (Maison Mumm).
