Paris and its covered walkways

We&#39;ll leave by coach from Dormans to Reims, known as the &quot;City of Coronations&rdquo;. Reims played a prominent role in French monarchical history as the traditional site of the crowning of the Kings of France. Many notable champagne-producing houses have their headquarters in Reims. We&#39;ll enjoy a guided tour on foot and discover the Place Royale, Place Du Forum (Roman forum), the Place de l&#39;H&ocirc;tel de Ville and more. The cathedral became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the former Abbey of Saint-Remi and the Palace of Tau, in 1991. 
We&#39;ll take part in a guided visit of the cathedral, which receives about one million visitors annually. Built in the 13th and 14th centuries, this work of art is unique in its unity of style, stained-glass windows of rare magnificence and the &quot;Smiling Angel&rdquo; statue. At the end of our tour, we&#39;ll return on board in Dormans.

Reims guided tour

Our tour guide will greet us before we start off on our coach tour of the Champagne Tourist Route, where you&#39;ll discover the magnificent vineyard-dotted valleys of the region. You&#39;ll partake in a guided tour of the village of Hautvillers, once home to the famous Dom Perignon, a French Benedictine monk who made important contributions to the production and quality of champagne as we know it today. This picturesque village is located in the Montagne de Reims Regional Natural Park and is best explored on foot. Many of the little streets in the village have names that are reminiscent of the history of this village which is often called &quot;The Pearl of Champagne&rdquo;. We&#39;ll continue our visit to a prominent champagne house, with a tasting*, of course. After our tour, we&#39;ll return on board.
