Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Other TGV trains from Paris destined for Germany or Alsace stop at
Champagne-
Ardenne
TGV Station five miles away (4/day, 45 minutes). From there, you can take a
local “milk-run” (TER) train to Reims-Centre Station, or ride tram #B into town (direc-
tion: Neufchâtel; walk downhill from the station to find the stop).
There are also two daily local TER trains that go from Paris through Epernay to
Reims (2 hours).
By Car:
Day-trippers should follow
Cathédrale
signs, and park in metered spots on
or near the street approaching the cathedral (Rue Libergier) or in the well-signed Parking
Cathédrale structure. If you'll be staying the night, take the
Reims-Centre
exit from the
autoroute for most of my recommended hotels, and park in the Erlon parking garage.
