  • The train from Paris (Gare d'Est) to Reims was very quick but it was also expensive. The tickets were 40.6E round trip per person for 2nd class seats. The ride took about 1:40.

    There were 12 trains per day going during the week, less on the weekend, but there was a large gap of around 3 hours between the early morning trains and the train we caught at 11:16 so be sure and check the train schedules before you go.

    The train station in Reims is within a 10-15 minute walk of the central attractions of Notre Dame, the tourist office and the Palais de Tau.

    The best way to reach Reims from Paris (or from most other french cities) is by train.

    Since June 2007, Reims is served by TGV : the journey is 45 minutes from Paris (1h50 from Strasbourg, 50 minutes from Roissy-CDG).
    There are also (slower) conventional trains.

    Be aware that there are 2 TGV stations for Reims : Reims (in the city itself) and Champagnes-Ardennes (in Bezannes - 5 km from Reims) and that many TGV stop in Champagnes-Ardennes and not Reims.
    To reach the town, 2 solutions : either the TER (local train - 8 minutes , direct, 2.10 €) or the bus, line K (20 minutes, 1€)

  • While not supper frequent (a bit scarce during week-ends), Reims has an extensive bus network (greenish-yellow busses with purple markings) ans stops are well marked.
    Very convenient if you have to reach sites 'far ' apart or are tired.

    The prices are resonable : 1€ per journey (tickets can be bought on board).

    The Citadines 1 and Citadines 2 lines are doing round trips around the center town and can be used as sightseeing busses.
    The line K goes to the Champagnes-Ardennes(Bezannes) TGV station.

    Reims can be reached by car in an easy way. The motorway A4 passes Reims on its way from Paris to Strasbourg. You cannot oversee it, it is well signed out. Further the motorway A26 passes Reims from north to south.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Further it was rather easy to get to the cathedral and we also found enough possibilties to park the car there.

    Due to the fact that Reims is located on the main train route from Strasbourg to Paris, Reims can be also reached very comfortable by train.

    For detailed schedules of trains getting to Reims have a look at the homepage of the french railways:

  • We wer running short on time and the champagne house of Veuve Clicqout is a fair distance from the center of town. There is a cab stand near the theatre and fine arts museum. The cab ride cost about 6E.

    Reims is 134 North East from Paris, easily accessible by train or car.
    If you want to discover the region of Champagne and the wineyards, you will need your own car.

  • Trains of SNCF are an obvious option. You can get there on direct trains from Paris (2 hours and something), Epernay (many trains, take just 1/2h). Buses might bring you to Troyes. Many other trains are also good options.

    950kms.......10hrs from SALZBURG
    260kms.......3hrs from SARREBRUCK
    420kms.......5hrs from WIESBADEN

    Ease of access an hour away from PARIS. At the junction of major motorways A4 and A26, Reims is a metropolis of easy access, by car.

    By plane, The plane attracted on the eve of the 20th century by the wide plains of Champagne, today puts the City of Coronations within reach of international airport. The airport of Reims Champagne hosts commercial aviation, the aerodrome of Reims Prunay is for business travellers.

    By railroad, Reims should soon be 30 minutes away from Charles De Gaulle Airport, by the TGV Est.
    I suggest getting around Reims by car. This way you can stop and see or do anything you wish to stop for. Some areas are great for walking too.
