Rue de Tambour, Medieval street in central Reims, France
Rue de Tambour is a street in central Reims that runs between two main squares, lined with old buildings and featuring colored cobblestones. The route displays buildings from various periods and a carefully designed ground surface.
The street took its name from a stone drummer statue on a medieval building facade, documented in written records from the 15th century. The name was later formalized and has remained part of the city's identity for generations.
The Musicians' House displays medieval stone figures of performers on its facade, with a drummer statue that gave the street its name. These carvings reflect the artistic life that once defined this area.
The western section of the street is exclusively for pedestrians, while the eastern portion allows vehicle traffic. The colored cobblestones can become slippery when wet, so appropriate footwear is advisable.
In 2019, local merchants painted the cobblestones in multiple colors, creating an art installation on the street surface. This project transformed the historic street into a colorful, contemporary artwork.
