To do, to see, to experience... near us.
We are in a region steeped in history, terroirs and nobility.
Once you have recharged your batteries in the relaxing setting of the Là Je Ris guest house, here are some ideas for discovering our beautiful region...
Visit to Reims Cathedral
Any visit to Reims passes by Notre-Dame Cathedral. Its beauty is unanimous. And for good reason, it is an architectural jewel inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Larger than Notre-Dame de Paris, it also presents exceptional statuary. 2,303 sculpted figures adorn its facades. Biblical scenes, a gallery of kings, a bestiary, gargoyles, so many stories to tell for the guides who help you discover it.
The Tau Palace
THE TREASURE OF THE CATHEDRAL
The Palais du Tau is both an unmissable place for its historical and architectural aspect, but also for its incredible collection linked to the History of France.
When the kings of France went to Reims for their coronation, they stayed there for several days. It was at the Tau Palace, the archbishop's residence located right next to the cathedral, that they settled. This is also where the post-consecration festivities were celebrated.
Listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1991, the palace now houses an exceptional museum whose collections retrace the history of the cathedral and the royal coronations.
The Old Saint-Remi Abbey
AN UNKNOWN SPLENDOR
The ancient Saint-Remi abbey, also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is made up of 2 visiting sites: the basilica and the historical museum . Both are worth the detour, about twenty minutes walk from the cathedral. Several bus lines also allow you to get there in less than 5 minutes.
The basilica is sumptuous. Its interior, mixing Gothic and Romanesque styles, is imbued with spirituality.
The museum, whose rich collections are installed in different rooms of the Benedictine abbey, traces the history of Man from Prehistory to the Renaissance.
Please note: entry to the museum and the guided tour of the basilica are free for Reims Epernay pass holders (see Reims tourist office) .
Wine-growing Champagne
There are many champagne houses here.
You may want to visit the Champagne hillside and taste the regional bubbles during your visit...

Traveling through the vineyard will also give you the opportunity to meet the winegrowers , who welcome you into their homes to offer you tastings, tours of their cellars and a direct sale with prices generally much more attractive than 'in traditional stores.
