Serviced Apartments in Reims

Reims (also spelt Rheims) is a city of just under 200,000 people in the north of France. Only 80 miles from Paris, Reims is easily reached by train or car and was once an important city of the Roman Empire. For a city which is not particularly well known outside of France, Reims has an abundance of history and an almost unparalleled collection of monuments and impressive landmarks. Tourism is an important part of the city's economy, and as such plenty of Reims holiday apartments have sprung up in recent years.

Historically, Reims has played an important ceremonial role in the French Royal Family. The city has been the traditional location for the crowning of new Kings of France. These coronations are typically carried out in the Cathedral of Reims, one of the very first stopping points for tourists to the city. This spectacular cathedral is a wonderful example of 13th century architecture and can be seen from many Reims city centre (center) apartments.

Reims is a city full of impressive squares such as the Place Royale, Place Cardinal-Luçon and Place Drouet d'Erlon. These squares are home to wonderful statues and monuments of such historical figures as Joan of Arc and Louis XV as well as a number of exquisite restaurants, bars and cafes. There are a number of Reims serviced apartments overlooking and surrounding the squares, leaving you close to the vibrant nightlife of the city.

The very oldest monument in the city is called the Porte Mars; a wonderful triumphal arch dating back to the third century A.D. This was once an achievement of great celebration to the Romans, being the widest arch find anywhere in the Roman Empire. At 32 metres long and 13 metres high, the arch is an impressive sight and compliments the nearby temple, also dedicated to the Roman god Mars. Both of these monuments can be easily reached from any Reims apartment rental in the city.

Lovers of historical and impressive architecture will be spoilt for choice here in Reims; another fine example is the St Remi Basilica, originally constructed in the 11th century, with renovations, improvements and extensions being carried out over the 700 years.
