Dear colleagues,
Welcome to the beautiful city of Reims! As we will gather next year in Reims for the AFJO , we would like to take a moment to introduce you to the rich history of Reims.
Reims, located in the northeastern part of France, is a city with a profound heritage and a significant place in history. It is known as the capital of the Champagne region, famous for its exquisite sparkling wine that has become synonymous with celebrations and luxury.
Kind regards
Philippe Hernigou, Pascal Vie
In addition to its cultural and gastronomic offerings, Reims is well-connected and easily accessible. The city has excellent transportation links, including a high-speed train (46 Minutes) connection to Paris, making it an ideal destination for both business and leisure travelers.
One of the most iconic landmarks of Reims is the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Reims. This majestic Gothic masterpiece, dating back to the 13th century, played a pivotal role in French history. It was here that numerous French kings were crowned. The cathedral’s stunning architecture and intricate stained glass windows leave visitors in awe of its grandeur.
Apart from its religious significance, Reims is also home to several other architectural gems. The Palais du Tau, a former residence of the archbishops of Reims, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its remarkable collection of tapestries and sculptures offers a glimpse into the opulence and splendor of the past.
