My husband and I went here to celebrate our first anniversary. Reims is a fascinating little place. We walked to the Pommery and Veuve Clicquot houses from town. I loved the fountain there. The rest of Reims is a bit run down, which surprised me. It has a lot of character though. If you’re there also check out the high school behind the train station that the papers ending WWII were signed at! over 5 years agoUntitled by raschema
We are heading to Paris for our one year anniversary and I am hoping to make a day trip to Reims and at least one of the wonderful champagne houses (probably Pommery or Veuve Clicquot). I wanted to surprise my husband but that might be too difficult… I will however buy a Pommery ‘Pop’ and put a note on it for a taste of what’s to come! over 5 years agoLa cité des sacres by Lietho
Historicaly, Reims is the city where french kings was crowned. About WWII, Reims is where the germans sign the surrender act at may 7th 1945 and a little museum in a high school (Lycée Roosevelt) can be visited. After all that, there are champagne wine and the famous smiling angel on the cathedral. over 6 years agoEngaged by Kuyper HoffmanMy (now wife) and I visited here right after I proposed. What a wonderful place. Centre of the Champagne region over 6 years agoLearned french here! by Meutia ChaeraniI stayed here for one month to learn french at EF School in 1995. I stayed with a french family and the food they provide for dinner everyday was really really delicious, complete with cheese plate and great dessert. I attended lots of free concerts here as well. Great music stores too. Then I visited champagne cellars and tasted my first champagne there, three glasses of brut ones! over 6 years agoSee all 7 entries |
