Hautes Promenades, Park in central Reims, France
The Hautes Promenades are a large green space in the center of Reims, located north of the old city walls. The park features wide tree-lined paths and open lawns, and it connects to a chain of other parks that runs across the city.
The park was created in 1733 on land that had been part of the old city fortifications, making it one of the oldest green spaces in Reims. It was listed as a protected natural site in 1932, which helped preserve its layout over time.
The Hautes Promenades are a place where people from Reims come to walk, sit on a bench, or let their dogs run free. The wide paths and open layout make it a natural gathering spot for locals going about their daily routine.
The park is a short walk from Reims train station, making it easy to reach whether you arrive by train or on foot from the city center. Entry is free, and the wide paths are suitable for strollers and wheelchairs.
The park contains a monument to the martyrs of the Resistance and Deportation, which many visitors walk past without noticing. Right nearby stands a memorial to the Rhin et Danube army, so a single stroll can take you past two separate places of remembrance.
