After seeing the big cathedral in the center, one would think that there is nothing else to see but this basilica is worth it. For special occasions they organize pipe organ concerts

This place challenges you to use your imagination and asks you to stay and listen to the stories. There is something about the map room that inspires you to learn more about those who sat there in 1945 and asks you to look more closely at the people behind the names. There is something about the story of the unofficial newspaper that shows the US determined to seperate information from propaganda to let the front line forces make up their own minds, as the Axis trops were unable to. And there is something about the newspaper articles that casts sharp focus on history. The museum itself casts sharp focus of the position of Reims in history, and to the Second World War in particular. I can think of few places that will better reward the time spent here.

The House of Ruinart is unlike any other. It was the first established House of Champagne in 1729 and inspired by the intuition of a monk well ahead of his time…
While we enjoyed our tours of other champagne houses, nothing compared with our tour of Maison Ruinart (the oldest champagne house in France). Our guide was absolutely lovely, and she provided the most informative and interesting tour of the Crayers. After the tour, our group sat together in a salon and enjoyed the most pleasurable, relaxed wine tasting. In all the experience left the impression of Ruinart as the most elegant, refined champagne house in France. I was reluctant at first to review Ruinart, fearing that a positive review might result in mobs of people with cameras flooding Ruinart in a manner similar to crowds that swarm Moet & Chandon; however, after reading other recent reviews, I was relieved to see remarks from people less impressed that we (e.g., "don't bother"). Yes, there are far less expensive tasting options, large family friendly group tours, and tours with informal guides and large gift shops so PLEASE do choose one of those champagne houses if those features suit your needs and priorities.

The family de Gaulle allows one to see the part of their estate where history was made. Thanks to the very knowledgeable guide one receives explanations on the history of this place.
