The 15 best festivals, street fairs, and annual events in Reims

Impressive building and architecture. Beautiful art if few exposed. The history of the place where many of France kings got their blessed oil for their coronation It’s a touristic spot but not too busy

Basilique Saint-Remi is one of Reims’ most captivating historical sites. The Romanesque architecture, with its graceful arches and serene atmosphere, offers a striking contrast to the nearby Gothic grandeur of Reims Cathedral. The basilica houses the tomb of Saint Remi, who baptized Clovis, the first King of the Franks, making it a place of deep historical and religious significance. Inside, the stained glass windows fill the church with a soft, colorful light, and the intricate stonework reveals centuries of devotion and craftsmanship. The adjoining museum provides fascinating insights into the basilica’s history and artifacts. Overall, Basilique Saint-Remi is a must-visit for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a peaceful, awe-inspiring experience in Reims. PS. Free entry but a donations are welcome

A short walk from the Cathédrale Notre‑Dame, the Basilique Saint‑Remi offers a serene glimpse into Reims’ history and elegance. Dating back to the 11th century, its blend of Romanesque and Gothic architecture creates a peaceful, contemplative atmosphere. Inside, soaring arches, delicate columns, and beautiful stained-glass windows tell stories of saints and centuries past. Perfectly complementing a visit to the cathedral, the basilica’s timeless beauty and rich history make it a must-see for travelers seeking both spiritual and architectural treasures in Reims.

We did a walk through this beautiful basilica in the afternoon, and then returned for the Luminescence show in the evening. The basilica itself is beautiful and enormous. Was apparently started hundreds of years ago in the Roman style and then as it was damaged in the wars and added to the style of the additions was Gothic. The Luminescence show was absolutely incredible. About 45 minutes of history of the basilica, all in French, with an incredible immersive light show that highlighted and the architecture of the church itself. Highly, highly recommend.

The Basilica of Saint Remi stands tall in the city of cathedrals. The sheer size of the structure is overwhelming. Interiors arts have a great story to tell. Wander through to enjoy this marvel.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend the immersive experiences they do here, unless you're with children and it's for them. As an adult it's nice but it's not great, especially for the price. The photos and videos make it look better than it is. I can see that it would be great to entertain children quietly for an hour and would recommend it for that. Other than that, it's a beautiful building that's worth checking out.

After kicking off our day trip to the Champagne region, we started our tour at the magnificent Basilica of Saint-Remi. Stepping inside felt like a real-life time machine, transporting us to a peaceful, ancient world. The atmosphere was so calm and serene, it was the perfect place to start our day and escape the hustle and bustle. An impressive fact about this place is that it's the final resting place of Saint Remi, the guy who baptized the very first King of the Franks! Talk about a pivotal moment in French history! The basilica isn't just a building; it's a super cool piece of the past that sets the stage for a day of amazing discoveries.

After the impressive tour of the factory of Champagne Louis Roederer, it's really nice to be able to do the tasting at the Roederer Family House. Awesome champagne tasting experience. Loved the experience very much! The new Louis Roederer Collection is pretty good quality. Cristal of course the best!

An amazing tour!! This was an excellent experience that taught so much about the house and the exceptional champagne. Great seeing and learning about the champagne process and the house style. I highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again! For more check out my blog Travel and Champagne

Excellent winery visit. Very informative and the winery is impressive.

I'll happily give Champagne Louis Roederer 5 stars for being delicious Champagne made in a beautiful place, but we tried to go for a tour and unfortunately discovered that they weren't doing any walk up touring at all and I thought this would be helpful info to anyone hoping to show up on short notice for a tour. Hopefully we can make it back another time!

No tasting rooms in Reims from what we can tell. I called the number and the woman confirmed they do not have a tasting room in Reims.

We had a guided tour here. It was very informative and really enjoyable. The tour ended with a chilled glass of champagne. Top tip, take a long sleeved top as it will be 10 degrees Celsius in the caves and you will be in there for an hour 🥶

Loved the experience. My mom does not speak English or French, however the self -guided tour was available in German. At the entrance you can collect papers to explain the different stops of the tour. The art and installations bring you into a world, which goes beyond champagne. Definitely a must see! Only downside was that I contacted the service twice via e-mail and never got any response. So, customer service and communication upfront the visit could be improved.

Fun experience! 🎉 bought a tasting ticket for a glass of champagne—you can enjoy it either before or after the tour. Then you walk through the champagne cellars, which are filled with the names of different cities. The whole vibe feels a lot like wandering through an art exhibition in the cave town full of champagne bottles 🥂✨

Step beneath the city of Reims into the spellbinding Caves Pommery, where art and champagne meet beneath vaulted chalk tunnels. The vast underground galleries, once ancient quarries, now house thousands of resting bottles illuminated by soft golden light. Modern art installations blend seamlessly with centuries of heritage, creating a one-of-a-kind sensory journey. From the refined Brut Royal to the elegant Cuvée Louise, every tasting celebrates grace, craftsmanship, and history. A visit to Pommery is more than a tour — it’s an immersion into the soul of 🍾🍾🍾

【Quick Summary】An exploration of vast underground cellars where art and history intersect! Experience the dynamic world of a major Champagne house. 【Purpose of Visit】Recommended for anyone from beginners to advanced Champagne lovers who want to enjoy large-scale cellars and unique art exhibits. ✅ Experience (Tour & Tasting) The grounds, buildings, and the expansive underground cellars (caves) are incredibly vast, and the tour was highly engaging. A standout feature was that the tour wasn't merely a storage cellar visit; colorful lighting and contemporary art objects were placed throughout. It felt like walking through a subterranean art museum, allowing us to fully appreciate the unique and dynamic world of Veuve Pommery. We also found special cellar plates for places like Kyoto and the Hotel Okura in Tokyo on the cellar walls, which was a fun discovery and a reminder of the house's connection to Japan. We visited without a prior reservation, and it was fortunate that we were able to join a tour at a good timing. A Champagne tasting followed the tour. Although the Champagne was delicious, since major houses' bottles are generally available at stable prices worldwide, we decided not to purchase souvenirs on this occasion. ✅ Environment (Atmosphere & Facilities) The stairs and tunnels leading down to the cellars are illuminated with colorful lighting, creating a mysterious and fantastical atmosphere. The vast space features a unique blend of history and art, with carvings on the old stone walls and the display of a massive wooden cask. ✅ Final Thoughts This is a distinctive house experience where the historical scale of the Champagne region's cellars merges with modern art. If you have the time, this is certainly a spot worth visiting.

Huge Champagne House with a rich history. The tour itself was fun and they have a lot of elements, many of which a little bit kitschy but fun. The tour guide was very nice and spoke great english, providing a lot of interesting information about the history of Pommery. They are a little bit crazy, but in a good way. There is a slight smell of wine everywhere in the establishment.

We didn’t plan to visit here but sure GLAD we did. Bought a glass and enjoyed a walk around the centre taking in all the interesting facts and beautiful installations they had in place. Great value for money. Gift shop was also well stocked with interesting items. Small bottles were very appreciated. Highly recommended.

It’s really nice place for kids!! They have athletics for small children(0-3) on the photo and +3 years old children. Also they have tranig machines for adults. It’s huge park so if you drop your car at the parking lot, go left at the first fork and walking for 3-5 minutes, you will find the park on your left (We went right at the fork and it takes more than 20 minutes to get there😇).

Very nice park with several big kids playgrounds. It also has a “beach” area with a beach volleyball field. Toilets are available on site and they were clean.

Nice park, lovely place to spend time with family!

Good park but toilets were locked up

Very beautiful park. Complete and very nice playground. The downside is that it closes. Even worse: it closes very early during winter. It has a climbing area for kids, a huge playground and a beach beachvolley field. I love this place. Do look for major events as the park might close.

Nice park, green spaces and playgrounds. Good place for sport. It has a parking.

Great spot for a picnic lunch with easy parking

Nice market with lots of local produce and of course with a champagne and oyster bar to enjoy after shopping. A delightful weekend experience.

Range of vendors inside and out on the day we visited. Lots of local and artisan products including pastries, cheeses, wine, champagne, veg, olives, meat and fresh fish.

No doubt a good market with lots of other shops and restos nearby but beware the hours of operation. We arrived at 13:00 on Saturday when the market closed at 14:00 and all the vendors were packing up and would not sell. Go earlier to be sure not to be disappointed.

Very fun market to walk through with a variety of vendors. Every stall had fresh looking produce. We ended up getting some olives from one of the sellers and they were delicious! He encouraged us sample so many things and was so welcoming and friendly!

Fabulous covered market. We visited on a Saturday and picked up some lovely radishes, cherries, saucisson, and cheese for a little planche at home. Friendly vendors and lots of free samples 🥰

Amazing! Just what you expect of a French market in the Champagne area. Fresh products, ambitious salesmen and people enjoying the proces of picking out there own food from the land. Even an elderly Frenchmen that helped us with a recipe for the 'cèpes'. It was a great omelet.

Plenty of fresh fruit and vegetable stalls. Fish, meat and cheese stalls were also there. May not have been operating at full capacity, lots of empty spaces.

This is not a theater and it's not a good place to watch opera or to attend a singer. No sound system!! And if you choose the second degree, you will not see and hear good. It's a place where you can watch basketball game. The parking is very crowd, go early!! The queue is very long, go early ;)

Parked our motorhome here outside the stadium in the free car park for 2 nights. Very convenient for the city about 20 mins to walk to the cathedral. Fairly quiet but does get busy so get there early. Only slight issue if your a high vehicle is there are some low tree branches.

Nice place and decorations. They could rebalance their sound system because sometimes the bass is too loud. Bring your own earplugs if you don't want to damage your ear

I went to watch a MMA and I really loved the arena. It's newly built and I find it very nicely built right near the city centre. The arena is huge with all modern amenities. Each and every equipment like the lights, sounds is amazing. The gates and the entry systems are also very nice. I really loved visiting there. I must say you must Reims Arena for any event.

Super concert Australian Pink Floyd

A smart new concert hall. The Australian Pink Floyd Show were absolutely amazing.

Super concert Lamomali

The opera of Reims is small but beautiful. Even on the 3rd floor, we can have a good view of the stage. Its beautiful ceiling and interior are amazing. However, unlike other operas I've been to, there was nobody on each floor to guide us to find our seats.

Very nice venue. Cozy and excellent acoustic

Very cosy and comfortable. Great acoustics! I've been twice and I'm not planning to stop.

The performances were excellent. The theatre did not communicate the change in program and the long break, making it very confusing for the audience. I feel sorry for the pianist who did not proper ovations because of the confusion.

Nice opera theater, went to see Phedre and it was good and lasted 1h30 which is perfect for my attention disorder.

Super 👍

Nice

(Translated by Google) It is a very pretty performance hall, located not far from Léo Lagrange park. The square located in front of the entrance to the room, as well as the park located just behind, form a great parkour spot. The Le Mans Parkour 72 association had the chance to train there during the 2018 FPK Weekend. (Original) C'est une très jolie salle de spectacle, située non loin du parc Léo Lagrange. La place qui se situe en face de l'entrée de la salle, ainsi que le parc situé juste derrière, forment un super spot de parkour. L'association Le Mans Parkour 72 a eu la chance de s'y entraîner durant le Weekend FPK 2018.

(Translated by Google) Even if world music concerts are no longer taking place unfortunately The program is just amazing there is something for everyone and it is generally very militant! A place not to be missed with preferential rates that are well worth it...🌈🦄💓 (Original) Même si des concerts des musiques du monde n'ont plus lieu malheureusement La prog est juste oufissime il y en a pour tous les goûts et c'est en général très militant! Un endroit à ne pas manquer avec des tarifs préférentiels qui en valent bien la peine...🌈🦄💓

(Translated by Google) I recently attended a performance at the Comédie de Reims and was delighted by the experience! The warm atmosphere, the talent of the actors and the quality of the production made this evening a memorable one. The varied programming offers something for every taste, whether classic theater, contemporary comedy or innovative performances. The facilities are modern and comfortable, and the staff is welcoming and professional. I highly recommend the Comédie de Reims to all theater and entertainment lovers! (Original) J'ai récemment assisté à une représentation à la Comédie de Reims et j'ai été enchanté par l'expérience !

Les installations sont modernes et confortables, et le personnel est accueillant et professionnel. Je recommande vivement la Comédie de Reims à tous les amateurs de théâtre et de divertissement!

Ok

(Translated by Google) Mixed opinion. But certainly improving. You may find a doctor who is just waiting for his lunch break to go eat, just as you may have a doctor who listens and understands your concerns and helps you formulate them. Being in the social sector, health, helping people with disabilities should let faith in the human species take over. And not take down the patients. Obviously it's like everything. There are non-competent and competent people. But I don't rate it harshly because the reception is always helpful. As for the processing of files, it is not their fault given the requests that are written every day. There are not enough staff. (Original) Avis mitigé. Mais sûrement en amélioration. Vous pouvez tomber sur un médecin qui n'attend que sa pause de midi pour aller manger, comme vous pouvez avoir un médecin à l'écoute qui comprend bien vos soucis et vous aide à les formuler. Être dans le social, la santé, l'aide au personnes handicapés devraient laisser la foi en l'espèce humaine prendre le dessus. Et non pas descendre les patients. Évidemment c'est comme pour tout. Il y a des personnes non compétentes et compétentes. Mais je ne note pas sévèrement car l'accueil est toujours serviable. Pour ce qui est du traitement des dossiers ce n'est pas de leurs fautes vu les demandes qui sont écrites chaque jour. Il n'y a pas assez de personnel.

(Translated by Google) Good welcome, painter exhibition which allows you to pass the time while waiting. On the other hand, no dedicated parking lot, almost impossible to park nearby. For an annex of the mdph, the height... Just remember a disabled place on the other side of the street. (Original) Bon accueil, exposition de peintre qui permet de passer le temps lors de l'attente. Par contre, pas de parking dédié, quasiment impossible de se garer à proximité. Pour une annexe de la mdph, un comble... De souvenir juste une place handicapé de l'autre côté de la rue.

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant people on site, attentive and seeking to find solutions when there are problems. Even if we are only moderately satisfied with the Mdph, we cannot fault the people who welcome us. A very good team, hoping that won't change. (Original) Personnes sur place très agréables, à l'écoute et cherchant à trouver des solutions quand il y a des problèmes. Même en étant que moyennement satisfait par la Mdph, on ne peu rien reprocher aux personnes qui nous accueillent. Une très bonne équipe en espérant que cela ne changera pas.

(Translated by Google) I remain in admiration and professionalism during my phone calls for my child even if the situation is sometimes complex. the interlocutor and very attentive, which is rare today. I thank the MDPH for placing such an admirable and professional person in this position. Thank you to the MDPH of Chalon knowing that the interlocutor and dedicated professional as humane.... Well done to you thank you Ms. Zohra for listening to each person and each case (Original) je reste en admiration et du professionnalisme lors de mes appels téléphonique pour mon enfant même si la situation et parfois complexe quelquefois. l'interlocutrice et très à l'écoute vraiment qui est rare aujourd'hui. Je remercie la MDPH d'avoir mis à à ce poste une personne aussi admirable que professionnel Merci à la MDPH de Chalon en sachant que l'interlocutrice et dévoué professionnel que humainement.... Bravo à vous merci à vous madame Zohra d'être à l'écoute de chaque personne et de chaque cas

(Translated by Google) Very very badly received by an agent, following a problem with our file we came to seek help we were told curtly to calm down....and to make an appointment....the mdph made an error or an oversight and these are the people who must suffer the consequences. This is frankly unacceptable from an administration that is supposed to help people with disabilities. Of course I understand that an appointment is necessary but when it comes to an urgent problem on a file they could make an exception and look at the said file... putting themselves in the place of the users but it is without doubt asking too much of these able-bodied and healthy people (Original) Très très mal reçu par un agent,suite a un soucis sur notre dossier nous venions cherchez de l'aide on nous a répondu sèchement de nous calmer....et de prendre rdv....la mdph fait une erreur ou un oubli et ce sont les personnes qui doivent en subir les conséquences c 'est franchement innaceptable de la part d'une administration censée venir en aide aux personnes handicapées. Certes je conçoit qu'il faut un rdv mais quand il s'agit d'un soucis urgent sur un dossier ils pourraient faire une exception et regarder le dit dossier...en se mettant a la place des usagers mais c 'est sans doutes trop demander a ces personnes valides et bien portantes

(Translated by Google) Unacceptable reception, unacceptable for an administration for disabled people. My parents showed up because the phone number given rang in vain! My 70-year-old parents witnessed a surreal scene of a reception agent yelling at a person who had come to ask for information. (Original) Réception inacceptable, inadmissible pour une administration pour personne handicapée. Mes parents se sont présentés car le numéro de téléphone communiqué sonne dans le vide ! Mes parents âgés de 70 ans on assisté à une scène surréaliste d'une agent d'accueil hurlant sur une personne venue réclamer des infos.

Super

(Translated by Google) Very kind and welcoming staff. Thank you, we will come back with pleasure. (Original) Un personnel très gentil et très accueillant. Merci nous reviendrons avec plaisirs.

(Translated by Google) Welcoming media library I feel good working there. (Original) Mediatheque accueillante je m'y sens bien pour travailler.

(Translated by Google) Very welcoming spaces, attentive staff, a large selection of books especially for young people. (Only downside: the parking lot is cramped and difficult to access. Perhaps we could gain a few spaces on the castle square of water which hardly seems to be used). (Original) Des espaces très accueillants, un personnel à l'écoute, un grand choix de livres en particulier pour la jeunesse.( Seul bémol : le parking exigu et difficile d'accès. Peut-être pourrait-on gagner quelques emplacements sur le parvis du château d'eau qui ne semble guère utilisé. )

(Translated by Google) great welcome! attentive staff! (Original) super accueil! personnel à l'écoute!

(Translated by Google) A superb media library. It's complete!! The staff is very friendly, helping with everything. We always say that quality staff is a reflection of the person who is responsible for that team. I confirm!! And, the animation is often very appreciable. I recommend!!! (Original) Une mediatheque superbe. C est complet!! Le personnel est fort sympathique,aidant pour tout. On dit toujours qu un personnel de qualité est le reflet de celui qui est responsable de cette équipe. Je comfirme!! Et, l animation est souvent très appréciable. Je recommande!!!

(Translated by Google) Great place for young and old, calm but fun and very well stocked, like the network of Reims libraries. I adore! (Except the parking lot is too narrow!) (Original) Super lieu pour petits et grands, calme mais ludique et très fourni, comme le réseau des bibliothèques de Reims. J adore! ( Sauf le parking bien trop étroit !)

(Translated by Google) An astonishing place with its many artistic activities offered. High-quality theater classes, attentive to everyone's rhythm, always in a good mood!

Les cours de théâtre sont geniaux, ils font du bien au moral, les professeurs Florent et Nuria sont bienveillants et à l'écoute et les élèves très soudés ! Une bouffée d'air chaque semaine ! Les expositions sont très plaisantes aussi, je recommande 😊

(Translated by Google) A studio to have fun, to meet a young team full of talent, a new artist every month for an exhibition, a workshop where we create small works in the space of 3 hours! A real joy! And also local evenings, Ciné Pastel, small musical, poetic, theatrical forms! and always a warm, friendly welcome...not to be missed! (Original) Un studio pour se faire plaisir, à la rencontre d'une jeune équipe bourrée de talents, un nouvel artiste chaque mois pour une expo, un atelier où l'on crée de petites œuvres en l'espace de 3 heures!

(Translated by Google) A great experience during the dubbing course (teens) for my son, during the last school holidays! He had already loved the theater classes with Florent two years ago. The PASTEL studio is to be recommended without reservation!!! (Original) Une super expérience lors du stage de doublage (ados) pour mon fils, aux dernières vacances scolaires !

Un prof attentif et bienveillant ainsi qu'une équipe accueillante. C'est le lieu de toutes les rencontres artistiques et humaines dans la bonne humeur ! Un Studio PASTEL à déguster et à partager sans modération !

(Translated by Google) Studio Pastel is a place not only friendly but with a rich and diverse cultural openness! The exhibitions offered offer great discoveries and the direct meeting with the artists allows for real proximity. The college where I work has entered into a partnership for several years with Florent, which has allowed a number of students to discover art in another, more accessible form, but also to allow them to approach the world of performing arts. with a passionate and committed professional! Health conditions are complicating things these days but the Newsletters sent by Studio Pastel allow us to maintain a precious link with culture. A rich, friendly and lively place! (Original) Le Studio Pastel est un lieu non seulement convivial mais à l'ouverture culturelle riche et diversifiée! Les expositions proposées offrent de très belles découvertes et la rencontre directe avec les artistes permet une réelle proximité.

Les conditions sanitaires compliquent les choses ces temps-ci mais les Newsletters envoyées par le Studio Pastel nous permettent de conserver un lien précieux avec la culture.
