Water mirror of the High Promenades, Reflecting pool in Reims, France
The Miroir d'eau des Hautes Promenades is a shallow reflecting pool in a public park in Reims, France. The surface is designed to mirror the sky and surrounding trees, and its appearance shifts throughout the day depending on the light and wind.
The pool was created as part of a broad redesign of the park that was completed in September 2019. The project turned an older green space into a modern meeting point open to all ages.
The pool sits within the Hautes Promenades, a park in the heart of Reims that families and locals use year-round. On warm days, children often walk through the shallow water while adults rest on the benches nearby.
The pool is easy to reach on foot since it sits centrally in Reims, between the train station and the Place d'Erlon. Entry is free, and a visit works at any time of day as the light and reflections change noticeably from morning to evening.
The water is shallow enough to walk through, which sets it apart from traditional ornamental pools that visitors can only look at from the edge. This feature turns it into a walkable water surface that looks especially striking on windless days.
