What to do in Reims, France

If you’ve followed me for long, you probably know I love a good bottle of bubbly! I believe everyday deserves a glass of champagne and I always keep a bottle in our fridge.  So when we were in Paris we knew we had to make a day trip to the Champagne region of France.

We originally booked 2 nights in Reims, but our Airbnb host cancelled last minute. So instead we ended up just doing a day trip from Paris. I would love to go spend a few days there in the spring, summer or fall. During the winter I recommend just doing a day trip since so much of the area is closed. But it is definitely worth a day trip at the very least!

Here are my recommendations of what to do in Reims!

Itinerary

• During the winter I recommend either a day trip or just a night (maybe two)
• During warmer months I would love to spend a week in the Champagne region. At least a couple days in Reims and a few days exploring the surrounding areas as well.

Airport/Train Stations

• Paris Charles De Gaulle CDG (airport)
• Champagne Ardennes TGV (train)

Hotel

• HomeAway

Restaurants
We didn’t get to eat at all of these restaurants, but they were recommended by locals!

• L’Alambic
• L’Assiette Champenoise
• Cafe du Palais
• Chez Jerome
• Le Parc Restaurant Les Crayeres
• Le Sisters :: we ended up here after Mumm’s due to convenience & became best friends with the owner. She was so sweet! We would go back simply to order a few glasses of champagne, a cheese board and to give her a hug.

Recommendations

• The champagne region is divided into multiple cities. We spent our time in Reims, but I would love to come spend some time touring the different areas.
