Basilica of Saint-Remi, UNESCO World Heritage church in Reims, France

The Basilica of Saint-Remi is a large church in Reims combining Romanesque and Gothic architectural features throughout its structure. Inside, it features an extended nave, side sections, and soaring stone work accented by windows that flood the interior with light.

Construction started in the 11th century atop a chapel that sheltered Saint Remi's tomb. Building work continued through the 15th century, with each phase adding new architectural styles to the structure.

The basilica holds the remains of Saint Remi, the city's patron saint and a figure central to Christianity's arrival in the region. Pilgrims and visitors come to connect with this spiritual heritage and the stories embedded in the building's sacred spaces.

The building sits along Rue Simon and welcomes visitors free of charge throughout the year. Those needing mobility assistance will find accessible entrances and facilities throughout the structure.

The building underwent 40 years of restoration following severe damage in World War I, led by architect Henri Deneux. His meticulous reconstruction saved the structure and transformed it into a remarkable example of careful historic recovery.
