What you'll see & do
- ✓Stand before the majestic Gothic cathedral where nearly every French king was crowned — and uncover the ancient secret said to descend from heaven itself. What happened here changed the course of French history.
- ✓Peer into a mysterious underground gallery built by the Romans — cool, shadowy, and perfectly preserved for nearly 2,000 years. What was stored here, and why does Reims hold one of the world’s rarest examples?
- ✓Stand beneath one of the oldest surviving Roman triumphal arches in the world — a gateway that has seen empires rise and fall. But why is it named after the god of war, and what secrets are carved into its stone?
- ✓Walk into a royal square where kings once stood tall — and where a statue's outstretched hand hides layers of forgotten symbolism.
- ✓Know more about the royal backstage where kings feasted, changed, and prepared for coronation — a place hiding one of France’s most sacred relics.
- ✓Discover how an American steel tycoon helped rebuild war-torn Reims — not with weapons, but with books and bold Art Deco design.
- ✓This unassuming school was once the nerve center of the Allied forces — where World War II in Europe officially came to an end. But why wasn’t Eisenhower in the room when Germany surrendered?
- ✓Gaze upon a haunting memorial where bronze figures mourn and remember the fallen of the Great War.
- ✓Known more about a medieval mansion where one man rebuilt history — but left a wing in ruins on purpose.
