Reims Christmas and Champagne!

Reims (Marne, Grand Est) is famous for Champagne, its Cathedral and its Christmas market.

A weekend here between 27 November – 29 December 2024 will offer an opportunity to indulge in all three.

During the run-up to Christmas, Reims‘ Christmas Village combines street entertainment, magicians, carol singers and market stalls selling Christmas gifts, decorations and food.

130 wooden huts form the Christmas Market in Place d’Erlon and along the rue Condorcet and rue Théodore Dubois. There will be numerous events held each weekend including parades, as well as orchestra and brass band concerts. You can also listen to live jazz performed every Wednesday and Friday afternoon. There will be a special visit with St. Nicolas, but Father Christmas welcomes the children every day in his chalet.
