Walking Tour of Reims & Champagne Visit

Begin your walking tour of Reims with your private English-speaking guide and immerse yourself in the city's rich history and vibrant atmosphere. Known as both the capital of Champagne and the city of Coronation, Reims holds a prestigious place in France’s heritage. In 498, Clovis, King of the Franks, was baptized here, becoming the West’s first Catholic sovereign—an event that set the tradition of Reims as the coronation city of French kings. In fact, 33 monarchs were crowned in the breathtaking 13th-century Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Stroll through the city and admire its elegant Art Deco facades while soaking in its lively charm.

Wander through the Boulingrin District, a hub of gastronomy and local culture. Indulge in the delicious specialties of Mars Street, leading you to the renowned covered market, the “Halles du Boulingrin,” where an array of fresh produce, fine champagne, and exquisite pastries await to delight your taste buds. History buffs will appreciate a visit to the Cryptoporticus, a rare Roman-era structure—one of only five of its kind in the world.

Your journey continues with an exclusive Champagne experience. Venture into the deep, chalk-carved cellars of Reims, known as the “crayères,” an underground labyrinth stretching over 120km and revered globally for its unique terroir. Visit one of the world-renowned Champagne houses—Veuve Clicquot, Ruinart, Taittinger, or Pommery—and savor tastings of their exquisite sparkling wines in an extraordinary setting.
