Where To Stay in Reims, France in 2024

Erica Forster Last Updated: October 26, 2023

While many travelers turn Reims into a day trip from Paris, staying overnight in France’s Champagne Capital is even more fun. It’s an impressive city that boasts three UNESCO world heritage sights, so you know there’s plenty to do during your stay here. Check out where to stay in Reims for a fun day trip outside of Paris!

What You Need To Know

Reims is an underrated city, mostly because it gets dwarfed being in such proximity to Paris. Don’t be fooled, though—Reims has lots to do and is a wonderful blend of champagne and history. Staying overnight gives you more time to enjoy champagne tasting and venture out into the surrounding countryside.

In this article, I’ll cover the two main parts of the city you should think about staying in (near the Cathedral and the Saint-Remi neighborhood) and give you some suggestions for countryside getaways.

Where To Stay in Reims, France (Champagne)

Reims is a great city in Champagne that feels like “little Paris”. You’re right in the thick of Champagne which is what I want in a vacation! To make thing more digestible, we broke down the city of Reims and area into a few regions you could consider.

• Near the Cathedral ( Centre-Ville)

Saint-Remi Neighborhood

Champagne countryside, near the cathedral.

This is the true city center ( Centre-Ville ) of Reims. It’s also the closest you’ll get to the Reims Cathedral, the city’s coolest and most stunning monument. The Centre-Ville is the best neighborhood for those who want to be near the most action and within walkable distances from restaurants and shops. It’s also the closest you’ll get to the city’s train station.

Why I love centre-ville

• You’ll never be far from the cathedral
• Easy to find a place to eat
• You’ll get to see how non-Parisians live their day-to-day lives

Attractions in the centre-ville

• Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims
• Palais du Tau
• La Porte de Mars
• Hotel de Ville

Best Restaurants

Best Hotels in the centre-ville

La caserne chanzy hôtel & spa.

€€€ | Boutique Hotel | Indoor Pool

This boutique hotel in a converted firehouse is located just a one-minute walk away from the cathedral. An indoor pool and spa are inside, along with a champagne bar. The rooms are modern, chic, and recently updated. Ask for a room with a view of the cathedral if possible!

Location, photos, and booking

€€ | Cozy and Quiet | Great Prices

A cute, small hotel equipped with all the basics. Located on a quiet street. A great, cheaper option that won’t make you feel like you’re on a budget.

Best Western Premier Hotel de la Paix

€€€ | Indoor Pool | Outside Terrace

An upscale Best Western with great service. If you like to spend more time at the hotel, this is a good option since it includes an indoor pool, restaurant, full bar, and outdoor seating.

ibis Reims Centre Gare

€€ | Next To Train Station

The best place to stay if you have an early train to catch. The hotel is actually very stylish, and the area by the train station is safe. Still less than a fifteen-minute walk from the cathedral!

Head down to the southeastern part of town, in the neighborhood surrounding the Saint-Remi Basilica, for a quieter stay farther removed from crowds and shopping. This isn’t considered the city center anymore, but you’ll be about a 20-25 minute walk to the cathedral so that you won’t be too far either.

But, of course, the tradeoff is you’ll be much closer to some of the biggest champagne houses, so think about staying here if your focus is all on the bubbly.

Why I love the Saint-Remi Neighborhood

• Close to the basilica, arguably the second coolest monument in the city
• Easy walking distance from champagne houses
• A bit more off the beaten path

Attractions Near The Saint-Remi Neighborhood

• Basilique Saint-Remi
• Champagne Houses (Taittinger, Pommery, Veuve Clicquot)
• Parc de Champagne

Best Restaurants Near The Saint-Remi Neighborhood

Best hotels near the saint-remi neighborhood, domaine les crayères.

€ € €€ | Château Luxury | 5 Star Hotel

The best hotel on this entire list! This is a splurge that is more than worth it. A historic château spread on 17 acres with luxurious and beautiful rooms. There’s even a 2-star Michelin restaurant inside. Simply superb.

Résidence Hôtelière Laudine

€€ | Calm & Clean | Very Budget Friendly

This hotel is actually part of student accommodations in the city, so it’s much more affordable than other options. It’s definitely a no-frills kind of place, but gets the job done for those looking for a cheap place to sleep close to champagne tasting.

The countryside surrounding Reims is pretty magical. Rolling hills of Champagne vineyards are everywhere, dotted with picturesque villages and historic churches. Exploring the countryside will give you a different perspective of the region. It will also give you the chance to visit small, family-owned champagne houses where you can receive a totally personalized experience.

Why I love Staying In The Countryside

• Picturesque Views
• Calm and No Crowds
• Access to small champagne producers

Attractions In The Countryside

• Hundreds of small champagne houses for tasting
• Villages that look like they’re straight out of a movie

Best Restaurants In The Countryside

This will vary depending on where exactly you go. Every village will have at least one or two small restaurants, but keep in mind that they might close early. Your best bet is to check with the hotel employees or B&B hosts for the best recommendations.

L’Écrin des vignes

€ € € | Great Hospitality | Beautiful Views

This is an updated yet rustic bed and breakfast set in the middle of champagne vineyards on a former farm. It’s located about 20 minutes outside of Reims and within minutes of multiple small champagne producers. This is a fairytale setting, and the hosts are fantastic too.

Château de Sacy

€ € € € | Gorgeous Decor | Amazing Views

A renovated château in the countryside with fantastic views and luxury rooms. Staying here is a bit pricier but a great splurge if you’re traveling to celebrate a special occasion like a honeymoon or anniversary. A high-quality restaurant is on-site as well.

Dans les Vignes

€ € | Boutique Hotel | Make Their Own Champagne

A small hotel with panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards. The hotel actually belongs to a family who make their own champagne, and as a big plus you can visit their cellar and have tastings on site.

A symphony of ochre

It's hard to do justice to the unique splendour of Roussillon. You can say that there are 17 shades of ochre daubed across the houses of the village, drawn from the palette of the old ochre quarry next door. But that doesn't do justice to the flamboyant, technicolor glory of Roussillon: the reds, yellows, oranges and pinks that merge one into the other as you wander around the spiralling streets. Or the stunning contrast of the green of the pine trees or the blue sky against the red cliffs.

Roussillon is on a ridge of steep red cliff, as if everything around but the village has been clawed away over the years. If you walk up to the Castrum at the top you get some wonderful panoramic views across the valley to the Grand Luberon, the slopes of Mont Ventoux, and the plateau of the Vaucluse.

LAND OF OCHRE

As you approach Roussillon you notice that the fields have turned reddish orange, as if you are wearing the wrong sunglasses. The ochre this land is made of is a natural pigment that was used in paints. Roussillon's ochre quarry was one of the most significant ochre deposits in the world.

But times move on and real ochre is no longer in use. This means you can explore the disused quarry which is best described as other-worldly. Perhaps like Mars if it had cliffs and caverns, steeples and ridges. Certainly something very different that you will not forget.

The quarry is a starting point for a footpath that continues for 15km to the Colorado de Rustrel quarry. Colorado de Rustrel is a similarly spectacular natural event. This is a great walk (but bear in mind that the red dust will colour your shoes!)

For all this beauty you pay a price. In the summer, Roussillon is very busy unless you get there early or late. Out of the high season, it is a wonderful place to visit. In the main square are several restaurants with tables on the square or striking views out the back.

A VILLAGE IN THE VAUCLUSE

In the 1950s the noted American sociologist Laurence Wylie brought his family to live here for a year, and to observe village life. As a result he wrote the book A Village in the Vaucluse in 1957, a study of the interactions of a small, intimate, and as it was then, a very rural village. It is a charming and interesting book, well worth reading. Note that he changes the name of Roussillon to Peyranne in the book.

You can get hold of a copy of this book here if you are in the USA: A Village in the Vaucluse , or here in the UK: A Village in the Vaucluse .

Roussillon must have more restaurants per head of population than any other Luberon village. Most are clustered around the square near the top of the village. A little lower down, with its dining room sailing out into the ochre void, is the more upmarket David. There is a good choice and you'll find a table to suit your tastes and budget. There is also a great ice cream shop, just as you start walking up the hill towards the ochre quarry and cemetery.

The official story... The ochre of Roussillon is there because of a complicated story to do with the fact that many millions of years ago the Luberon was at the bottom of the sea, and now it isn't. The colour is caused by the mineral goethite (named after the German writer Goethe, who was a keen mineralogist), but just why it causes so many different shades is unknown. For more detail on this and everything to do with ochre production, you can go to Le Conservatoire des Ocres et Pigments Appliqués (Ochre and Applied Pigments Conervatory), which is an old ochre factory turned information centre just outside the village.

The truth... That's the official version anyway. The truth is far more interesting. In the Middle Ages a young damsel named Sermonde was married to Raymond d'Avignon, who was the lord of Roussillon. Raymond spent most of his time hunting, and in the long interludes Sermonde fell in love with a local troubadour (somewhere between a touble-maker and a musician). When Raymond found out about this, he did what anyone would do - he cut the troubadour's heart out and served it to Sermonde for dinner without telling her. And then he did tell her. When Sermonde learnt that she really was 'heart to heart' with her lover, she threw herself from the top of Roussillon. The earth all around runs red with her blood for all time.

Intrigue in the city of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence

As a security guard, it is your duty to unmask the culprit as soon as possible so that serenity returns to Saint-Rémy.

"Intrigue dans la ville®" is a game of enigmas accessible to all, which can be played with family or friends, and which aims to help people discover their heritage in a fun and educational way. It was natural for Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, a city steeped in history, to also have its own plot. From Glanum in 500 BC to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, this is the story of a rural town that became the capital of the seed trade. Very popular with artists and celebrities, it is a pleasure to stroll along its boulevards lined with plane trees, its pretty little streets and its Place de la République, very lively on market days. Its historical heritage and traditions are just as many little treasures that you will love to visit with your children. Armed with your kit, a cap and sneakers, you'll be ready for an adventure in the early 20th century! Available and practicable all year long, you just have to buy a kit at the Tourist Office for 12 euros, including a map of the city, a list of six suspects, a mission letter, a notebook, a pencil, a calendar, a badge, a mirror and a red filter, elements that will be very useful to unmask the culprit. Once you have found the culprit and the code, go to the Tourist Office at Place Jean Jaurès or to the game's website to find out whether or not you have succeeded in your investigation: http://www.intriguedanslaville.fr/saintremy/.
