Planning a trip to Reims

Arriving — High-speed, direct TGV trains leave for Reims from Paris’s Gare de l’Est several times per day (trip time: 45 min.). For information, visit www.sncf-connect.com or call tel. 36-35. It’s about 15 min. walk southeast of the station to the cathedral. Alternatively, you’ll find taxis and trams (www.citura.fr for public transport; a day travel pass “ticket journée” is available for 4.60€ from ticket machines) in front of the station. If you are driving from Paris, take the A4 east.

Visitor Information — The Tourist Office is next to the cathedral, 6 rue Rockefeller (www.reims-tourisme.com; tel. 03-26-77-45-00; open daily 10am–6pm).
