Can you visit Champagne cellars and the cathedral in one day?

Yes, it's the ideal formula. Leave Paris around 8:30am, visit a cellar in the morning, cathedral and lunch at noon, second cellar in the afternoon, return to Paris around 6pm.

Do you need to book cellar visits in advance?

Yes, strongly recommended. Veuve Clicquot requires booking several weeks ahead. Taittinger and Pommery accept walk-ins on weekdays but booking is advisable in high season.

Can the driver take us between different sites in Reims?

Yes, your TaxiNeo driver stays at your disposal for transport between the cathedral, cellars and restaurant. It's included in the round-trip package.

What is the best time to visit Reims?

Reims can be visited year-round. Spring and autumn are the most pleasant. September during the grape harvest offers a unique atmosphere. Christmas markets in December are also very popular.

Reims is a city of art and history listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in the Marne department at the heart of the Champagne region. Its Notre-Dame Cathedral, a 13th-century Gothic masterpiece, witnessed the coronation of 33 French kings, from Louis VIII in 1223 to Charles X in 1825. Severely damaged during World War I, it was magnificently restored and remains one of the world's most beautiful religious buildings, famous for its Smiling Angel and Marc Chagall stained-glass windows. Reims is also the undisputed capital of Champagne: the great houses Taittinger, Veuve Clicquot, Ruinart, Pommery and Mumm have dug their cellars in ancient Gallo-Roman chalk pits, forming a 120 km underground network listed as a World Heritage Site. The Place Royale, Tau Palace and Saint-Remi Basilica complete a remarkable architectural heritage. The covered market at Halles du Boulingrin, a unique Art Deco structure, houses local producers and Champagne specialities. Travelling to Reims by taxi from Paris lets you fully enjoy tastings without driving concerns.

Route

Route Paris → Reims (Champagne)

Your TaxiNeo driver picks you up from your Paris address and joins the eastern ring road then the A4 motorway towards Metz-Strasbourg. The A4 crosses the Brie plain on a straight, fast route. After Meaux, the landscape opens onto the vast grain fields of Champagne Brie. Near Château-Thierry, the first vine-covered hillsides appear, heralding entry into the Champagne vineyard. The Reims-Centre exit leads directly to the city centre via Boulevard de la Paix. Your driver can drop you at the cathedral, your chosen Champagne house or your hotel. For the return, the route is identical. If traffic is heavy on the Paris ring road, your driver will use the Francilienne (N104) to bypass eastern Paris. The journey flows smoothly except on Friday evenings and weekend returns.
