In-Depth Information
Check out the building at #15, which is fake half-timbered (in concrete), and the three Art
Deco facades at #21. Pop into the Waida Pâtisserie at #5 for a pure, typical Art Deco in-
terior.
As you stroll, keep an eye open for “Biscuits Roses” —light, rose-colored egg-and-
sugar cookies that have been made since 1756. They're the locals' favorite munchie to
accompany a glass of Champagne—you're supposed to dunk them, but I like them dry
(many places that sell these treats offer free samples).
Where Place Drouet d'Erlon ends (at a small fountain), cut over (Rue Condorcet
works) to the left; you can't miss Reims Cathedral .
The cathedral museum (Palais du Tau) and Carnegie Library are next to the church.
From there, walk via Place du Forum (the former Roman forum) and the old Roman gate
(Porte de Mars) to the Museum of the Surrender. Just like that, you've seen the highlights
of the city. Now it's time for a nice glass of Champagne.
