Reims has quite a history! According to legend, its name comes from Remus, twin of Romulus, the founder of Rome. Remus, Rems, Reims... Yes, the little man fed by a she-wolf with his brother is said to be the founder of Reims, the city of royal coronations, the sparkling city of Champagne, the martyred city too, but also the city of the smiling angel, sculpted on the cathedral facade like the particularly suave angel of the Annunciation, symbol of France on the rise. Reims is also famous for its most famous baptism: Clovis! He had promised his wife to convert to the Catholic faith if he won a battle.

When to go to Reims?

When to go to Reims? All year round, without hesitation! Through its monuments, its churches, its historical character, its cobbled streets, Reims is a city that has interest in all seasons. Champagne cellars are also open all year round, and many wine-related activities (cellar visits, tastings and oenology courses) are organised. Like many cities in eastern France, the Christmas season sees the city adorned with illuminations and Christmas markets. Finally, a demonstration commemorating the coronation of Charles VII attracts many curious people every year and this can be a very interesting opportunity to visit the city: the Johannine Festivals.
