Paris → Reims
Paris to Reims — Private Driver to the Coronation City of France
One hundred and forty-four kilometres northeast of Paris, a Gothic cathedral stands in the centre of a city where 34 Kings of France were crowned between 816 and 1825. Behind the cathedral, beneath the chalk hillsides that surround the city, 100 km of Roman-dug tunnels hold the world's finest Champagne ageing at constant temperature. Veuve Clicquot. Taittinger. Ruinart. Mumm. Pommery.
From your Paris hotel door to the front of Reims Cathedral: 1 hour 30 minutes by private driver on the A4 motorway east.
Your Luxberri chauffeur arrives at your hotel entrance. No train to Gare de l'Est. No tram from the Champagne-Ardenne TGV station. No navigating the city with luggage. Hotel door to cathedral square — in one vehicle, fixed price, zero connections.

Reims — What Awaits You
Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral Built between 1211 and 1311. The west façade is the most celebrated Gothic frontage in northern France — three portals covered in 2,303 sculpted figures, a rose window of extraordinary complexity, and the famous smiling angel (l'Ange au Sourire) on the north portal. Inside: the rose windows designed by Marc Chagall in 1974, the Coronation of Clovis I relief, and the atmosphere of a building that has witnessed the making of French royal history for ten centuries.
The Champagne Crayères The chalk crayères of Reims — Roman-era quarry tunnels dug to extract chalk for building the city — are the most extraordinary wine storage spaces in the world. Converted into Champagne cellars from the 18th century onward, the crayères maintain a constant temperature of 10–12°C and a humidity of 90%. Taittinger's crayères beneath the Abbey of Saint-Nicaise and Ruinart's UNESCO-listed Roman galleries are the finest cellar visits in Champagne.
The Palais du Tau The former Archbishop's Palace beside the cathedral — UNESCO World Heritage Site alongside the cathedral and the Saint-Remi Basilica. Houses the original Gothic statuary removed from the cathedral exterior for protection and the Salle du Tau where coronation banquets were held.
