Well located between Paris, eastern France and Belgium, Reims is easy to reach. Here is what you need to know to get there and get around during your stay.
Coming to Reims by train
Two stations serve the city:
- Reims station (Reims-Centre), right in the city centre, about 45 minutes from Paris-Est by TGV;
- Champagne-Ardenne TGV station, in Bezannes, a few kilometres from the centre. It is linked to the city centre by tram line B.
Some TGV trains also run directly from Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport to Reims.
Coming by car
Reims is at the crossroads of the A4 (Paris – Strasbourg), A26 (Calais – Troyes) and A34 (towards the Ardennes and Belgium) motorways. Allow about 1.5 to 1.75 hours from Paris, depending on traffic.
Getting around
The Citura network has two tram lines (A and B) and many bus routes. The historic centre, the cathedral and Place Drouet-d’Erlon are easy to explore on foot. For the Champagne houses on the Saint-Nicaise hill or the Saint-Remi Basilica, take the bus or walk about twenty minutes from the cathedral.
Parking in Reims
On-street parking is paid in the city centre, with several colour-coded zones with different rates and time limits. A few tips:
- on-street parking is generally free between 12 pm and 2 pm, in the evening from 7 pm, and on Sundays and public holidays;
- streets outside the paid area remain free;
- the park-and-ride car parks (P+R) on the outskirts, linked to the tram, are free with a public transport ticket;
- several covered car parks are available in the city centre.
Rules may change: check the zones and times on the City of Reims website before your stay.
