A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Reims stands at the heart of the champagne region, with prestigious houses available for exploration and tasting. Additionally, it is notable that every French King, from 987 to Charles X in the 19th century, was ceremoniously crowned at the Reims Cathedral.

Famous for its cathedral, where French kings were traditionally crowned, Reims (pronounced ‘Rance’ with a nasal twang and a guttural roll on the R if you can manage that!), is a lovely city on the banks of the River Vesle. This vibrant city offers a wealth of interesting buildings, good hotels, excellent restaurants, and of course, an abundance of delightful Champagne to sample at the various Champagne houses in the area.
