When to go to Reims?
Champagne's chalk hillsides run right up to the edge of Reims, and the light on its stone turns golden late in the day. Kings of France were crowned beneath the cathedral's gothic vaults, with the Palais du Tau alongside holding the treasury and its tapestries. Underground, the Pommery and Taittinger cellars keep their bottles in cool chalk galleries, while St Remi's basilica watches the older streets.
