The city
Reims is the largest city in the Champagne and the gateway to the region, 45 minutes by TGV from Paris. At the Cathédrale Notre-Dame nearly all the kings of France were crowned, and the Basilique Saint-Remi houses the tomb of the bishop who baptized Clovis. The city also has the Porte de Mars, a Roman arch, the Musée de la Reddition, where World War II in Europe ended, and champagne houses such as Pommery, Taittinger and Mumm, with cellars open to visits by reservation.
