Itinerary
You are now in front of the largest known arch in the Roman world. We didn’t think we would find him in this city, did we?
Make room for gastronomy! This amazing half-cylinder building hosts the city's Indoor Point of Sale.
Look to your left: the imposing black gate that decorates the Rue du Temple is the entrance that leads to the headquarters of the prestigious Champagne House Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin.
The elegant building on your right is the Muire Pavilion, one of the only vestiges of the city to display Renaissance architecture. It was built in 1565 by Nicolas de Pâris, the Lord of Muire.
Look behind you. Not for nothing does Les Rémois boast of having one of the most beautiful city halls in France!
Here you are in the Rue de Tambour, one of the historic streets of Reims. It connects the Town Inn square with the Forum square, in a succession of houses that plunge us straight into the city’s past.
You won’t be surprised if I tell you that this square is called the Royal Square, will you?
We will now pass under the door of the Chapter, recognizable by its two turrets and its architecture that denotes with the adjacent buildings.
You're in the Forum Square. It was the most important place of the city during the Roman era, since it was here that the inhabitants met to deal with political, commercial, economic or judicial matters.
From here you have a superb view of the west facade of the cathedral. You can see how much its architecture is worked.
There she is! That's most likely why you came. The cathedral of Reims is finally revealed to you, with its breathtaking architecture.
The Tau Palace, which is located next to the cathedral, was at the time the residence of the archbishop of the city as well as his entire administration.
The courthouse of Reims was built on the site of the former Inn-Dieu, and inaugurated in 1839.
Yes, it’s a library that I take you to see, but not just any library!
Here you are in Chanzy Street. Before talking about the street itself, I suggest you look at the house on your right, and look up at its top.
The opera of Reims was inaugurated in 1873. Prior to that date, the city had only a small performance hall, where the theatre performances were very popular at the time.
You walk here on one of the oldest roads in Reims, established by the Gallo-Romans to be their decumanus maximus.
The Church of Saint James is the second oldest church in Reims, since it was built in the 12th century. It is one of the 3 medieval churches still standing today in the city.
With its 400 meters of length, it is considered the largest terrace in France.
This small square is named after one of Louis XIV’s main ministers, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, who participated in the economic development of France in the 17th century.
A relaxing place in the heart of Reims, this green space called Les Promenades de Reims is dedicated to leisure, to the delight of families.

Great route, but appears the audio is only available in French??? Could not find a way to change it even though advertised in 3 different languages.
Hello Joe_L, I apologize for the issues you experienced with the audio language settings. Although advertised in multiple languages, the application defaults to French upon entering the code. To change the language to your preference, please follow these steps: Click on the Settings menu (the gear icon). Look for the Language options. Select your desired language, even if it already appears to be selected. Tapping it forces the application to refresh and load the correct audio and text files. Georges | Inway
We like to get an audio guide for places we visit on holiday, if we can. Once we could get this one working, a bug that has been fixed, the descriptions are nice and clear. I would have liked an auto-play function so I could keep the phone out of sight. With this app, you need to press play. The navigation on the map is easy to follow, with breadcrumbs as you walk. You can pause the content, but you can't go back, say 20 secs, you have to exit and restart.
