Private Walking Tour of Reims

Discover the city of Reims at your own pace with a private English-speaking guide and immerse yourself in the elegance, history, and vibrant atmosphere of the Champagne capital. Revered as the city of coronations and a symbol of resilience, Reims has played a central role in French history for centuries. In 498, Clovis, King of the Franks, was baptized here, establishing a tradition that saw 33 French kings crowned in Reims. This deep royal legacy gives the city a unique and timeless character.

Throughout the city, you will discover the magnificent Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in Europe. You will also see the Palais du Tau, once the residence of kings during coronations, offering insight into the pageantry of royal ceremonies.

As you explore Reims, you will notice a city shaped by renewal. Art Deco façades stand alongside historic landmarks, reflecting the extensive reconstruction following World War I. Highlights include the refined Carnegie Library, Place Royale with its elegant symmetry, and the lively Place Drouet d’Erlon, where cafés and boutiques animate the city.

You will also experience local life in the Boulingrin District, a hub of gastronomy. The Halles du Boulingrin showcase regional flavors, while the hidden Cryptoporticus reveals a rare Roman structure beneath the city. Together, these sites illustrate how Reims blends royal heritage, architectural beauty, and everyday life.
