Reims, Ancient coronation city in Champagne region, France
Reims is a large French city in the Grand Est region, spreading along the Vesle River valley. The Gothic cathedral of Notre-Dame rises above the old town, while several districts house the production facilities of major champagne houses.
Between 1027 and 1825, 33 French kings were crowned in the cathedral, making the city the most important coronation site in the kingdom. During the First World War, it suffered heavy bombardment that destroyed large parts of the historic fabric.
In the cellars of champagne houses, visitors learn about the work of cellar masters who oversee every stage of winemaking. Local residents maintain a strong connection to wine culture, visible in small wine bars and private tastings held throughout the year.
The central train station offers fast connections to Paris in under an hour by rail. Underground champagne cellars maintain a steady temperature throughout the year, making them suitable for visits in any weather.
On May 7, 1945, German forces signed the unconditional surrender at the Allied headquarters, ending the war in Europe. The room where the ceremony took place is now preserved as a museum, displaying the original furniture and documents.
