Ramparts of Reims, Medieval fortification walls in Reims, France.
The defensive ramparts stretch across different sections of Reims, featuring ancient gates, towers, and stone walls that protected the settlement throughout centuries.
The fortifications evolved from Gallic origins through Roman occupation to medieval times, with significant expansions occurring in the 14th century to accommodate population growth.
The ramparts influenced the urban development of Reims, as evidenced by the Boulevard Lundy which follows the path of former defensive structures.
Visitors can explore remaining sections of the walls near Porte de Mars, with informational panels explaining the historical significance of each preserved area.
The Butte Saint-Nicaise section contains the Tour du Puits and a 13th-century postern gate, representing the last surviving elements of medieval fortifications.
