Teaching & Exchange
Reims is a city of the Champagne-Ardennes région of northern France, standing 144 km northeast of Paris. It was originally founded during the period of the Roman Empire.
Reims played a very important role in French History, as it was the place where the kings of France were crowned. The most famous and cherished of these events was the coronation of Charles VII in the company of Joan of Arc. The Cathedral of Reims (damaged during WW1 but restored since) played the same role in France as Westminster Abbey did in England.
Reims is often considered the capital of Champagne, an old province of France, world-famous for its sparkling wine (Champagne). Today however, Reims is merely the largest city in the region.
