Activity itinerary

Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Reims (Pass by)
Stand before the majestic Gothic cathedral where nearly every French king was crowned — and uncover the ancient secret said to descend from heaven itself. What happened here changed the course of French history.
Cryptoportique (Pass by)
Peer into a mysterious underground gallery built by the Romans — cool, shadowy, and perfectly preserved for nearly 2,000 years. What was stored here, and why does Reims hold one of the world’s rarest examples?
Porte de Mars (Pass by)
Stand beneath one of the oldest surviving Roman triumphal arches in the world — a gateway that has seen empires rise and fall. But why is it named after the god of war, and what secrets are carved into its stone?
Place Royale (Pass by)
Walk into a royal square where kings once stood tall — and where a statue's outstretched hand hides layers of forgotten symbolism.
Palais du Tau (Pass by)
Know more about the royal backstage where kings feasted, changed, and prepared for coronation — a place hiding one of France’s most sacred relics.
Carnegie Library of Reims (Pass by)
Discover how an American steel tycoon helped rebuild war-torn Reims — not with weapons, but with books and bold Art Deco design.
Comprehensive School Franklin Roosevelt (Pass by)
This unassuming school was once the nerve center of the Allied forces — where World War II in Europe officially came to an end. But why wasn’t Eisenhower in the room when Germany surrendered?
Monument aux Morts de Reims (Pass by)
Gaze upon a haunting memorial where bronze figures mourn and remember the fallen of the Great War.
Musée-Hôtel Le Vergeur (Pass by)
Known more about a medieval mansion where one man rebuilt history — but left a wing in ruins on purpose.
