Reims
Reims, Champagne, France
Elegant and lively, Reims blends Gothic grandeur with champagne heritage. The cathedral where French kings were crowned anchors a center of Art Deco façades, markets, and café terraces. Beneath the streets, historic chalk cellars belong to houses like Taittinger and Ruinart. It is an easy base for tastings, museums, and good dining.
