Basilique St-Rémi
This 11th-century church, about a 20-min. walk south of the cathedral, is one of the best examples of Romanesque religious architecture in Northern France. Within the complex is the former royal abbey of St-Rémi—the Bishop of Reims who converted Clovis, King of the Franks, to Christianity around A.D. 496; it now houses an extensive collection covering the city’s history, military history, and regional archaeology including some fine Roman mosaics. The church contains St. Rémi’s tomb and a collection of 12th-century stained glass windows.
