Reims (Reims)

The main station in Reims has a convenient location on the north-west corner of the city centre, the heart of the old town area at the Place Royale can be reached on foot in 10 to 20 minutes.

The station also has a secondary entrance / exit on the street named Rue André Pingat which gives easy access to the areas of the city north of the station.
It is accessed from the passage under the tracks at the western end of the station in zone / repére T.

The voix (platforms / tracks) in the station have letters instead of numbers, A to G, voix A is beside the main station building and voix B to are accessed by two passage ways under the railway lines.
The passage at the eastern end of the station, towards the front of trains arriving from Paris, in zone / repére U, can only be accessed by using stairs.
However the passage at the eastern of the station in zone / repére T can also be accessed by ascenseurs (lifts / elavators

If you want to head for the Abbey de Saint Remi and its area and would rather not spend 25 to 40 mins waking across the city centre, the alternative is to take bus line C or U6 - They both leave from the same stop in front of Reims station, combined there are up to seven departures per hour.

Three of the 'champagne houses' in the city have comparatively easy access from the station.

1. the Maison de Champagne Charles de Cazanove is located on the same street as the station.
2. Le 3 par Champagne Thiénot is located a slight diversion off the walking route between the station and the cathedral.
3. the Maison de Champagne G.H. Martel & Co is located within a 10 min of the Abbey de Saint Remi.

Champagne-Ardennes TGV station is located on the south-western edge of Reims - It is 3km from the city centre, but tram line B provides a link to the heart of Reims with its stop named Opera-cathedrael.

Though the line B stop at Champagne-Ardennes is a 5 min walk from the station, it can't be seen from the station exit, so go straight ahead to the other side of the car park

So if you're heading to Reims city centre and the timings of the trains heading to Reims station don't suit, booking to Champagne-Ardennes TGV instead is a good alternative - and it can be cheaper too.

There are also local TER trains which link Champagne-Ardennes station with the main station in Reims.

However, if you'll be heading to the area around Reims cathedral, booking to Champagne-Ardennes and leaving the train there to connect for the tram, can be simpler and quicker than taking the connecting train on to Reims station and walking from there.
