Reims Travel Guide: 275 reviews and 826 photos

The Beauty of Reims

Reims is a very beautiful town in France famous for not only it's Basillica but also champagne. I was fortunate to check out both. The interior/exterior of the church is beautiful.

A visit to the local Champagne store was quite informative. The owner was kind enough to pose for pictures with Reim's most expensive bottle of Champagne.

Basillica

Inside the Basillica

Me standing inside the church. There was a service going so only few pics were taken. This church is very big inside. The photo is a bit blurry, but a least we got a few shots of the interior.

Renovations of Church

Exterior of Church

The church is under renovation at the present time. Part of the exterior is being renovated as is the inside.

Pros and Cons

Pros:It's beauty; the people are very friendly; Basillica; flower markets
Cons:Can't think of any
In a nutshell:Basillica is a must see while in Reims.

Beautiful photos & helpful tips so merci Cynthia Marie. I think that shop owner is smiling because he is standing next to a beautiful woman rather than nursing an expensive bottle of champagne.
