Couvent des Cordeliers de Reims

The remaining stone walls of the Cordeliers Convent extend across a central square, featuring Gothic architectural elements and multiple arched passages.

Founded in 1220, the convent served as Reims city council meeting place before the construction of the city hall and continued operations until the French Revolution.

The convent's library collection, transferred to municipal archives in 1791, represents centuries of religious and intellectual documentation from medieval Reims.

The ruins stand at 1 Rue de l'Isle in Reims, forming part of a public garden with children facilities and open spaces for local residents.

The convent walls survived multiple transformations, including periods as a wool spinning factory and a warehouse before receiving monument status in 1925.
