Nestled at the heart of France's famed Champagne region, the Arrondissement of Reims merges historic richness with classic French elegance. This administrative district, anchored by the city of Reims, prides itself on a temperate climate featuring warm summers and mild winters, making it a suitable destination across all seasons.

The local culture pivots around the art of crafting champagne which is evidenced by ancient wine houses punctuating the landscape. Residents adhere to a relaxed way of life that seamlessly juxtaposes tradition and contemporary norms, where protracted lunches and evening strolls remain a deeply ingrained everyday tradition.

What really distinguishes Reims is its breathtaking gothic architecture, especially the Notre-Dame cathedral where past French kings were inaugurated. The cathedral, recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site together with the Saint-Remi Basilica, perfectly illustrates some of Europe's best medieval architecture and stained glass masterpieces, including recent works by Marc Chagall.

The gastronomy in the region extends beyond champagne, with local culinary gems like the Jambon de Reims (a unique pink ham terrine) and the Biscuit Rose de Reims (pink cookies designed for dipping in champagne). Don't miss the opportunity to sample the regional cheese known as Chaource, best enjoyed with local wines.

The must-see experiences include taking a tour of iconic champagne houses such as Veuve Clicquot and Taittinger, where visitors get to wander ancient chalk caves and discover the nuances of champagne production. The art-deco Carnegie Library and the picturesque Place Drouet-d'Erlon, the city's primary square, offer fascinating insights into different periods of French history and architecture.
