When to go à Reims ?
The climate in Reims is a semi-continental one: an oceanic climate with a continental influence. It is characterized by a cool winter, a mild summer and frequent rainfall. The average temperature in January, the coldest month, is 2 to 3°C and in July it is between 18 and 20°C.
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.
