Walk through Reims from the soaring façade of Cathédrale Notre-Dame to Roman remains, civic buildings, markets, museums, and distinctive early-20th-century architecture. Along the way, you will notice underground galleries, a Roman city gate, ornate public façades, a surrender-room museum, and two monasteries with very different stories. The moderate rating reflects the walk’s length across fourteen stops, while the variety of places makes it a rewarding way to understand Reims.
