The city of Reims is found in Northeast France, just off the main A26 motorway route from Calais. Known as the 'Champagne City', Reims is a spectacular collaboration of architecture and art, situated as it is on the edge of the main champagne-producing region close to Epernay and Challons en Champagne. For those who are seeking French property amongst the champagne vineyards of France, Reims and the highly acclaimed countryside that surrounds the city are the locations in which to begin the search.
Reims has a rich and prestigious past. Its mesmerising cathedral and the fabulous Saint Remi Basilica are but two of the many monuments that celebrate Reims' heritage. In the city itself beautiful landscaped gardens and grand fountains provide a regal atmosphere to this wonderful city - a city that really deserves to be the true home of champagne.
The most famous champagne houses in the world hail from Reims. You can visit their champagne cellars, and even dine in some of the cellars - an experience certainly not to be missed! Wandering the champagne vineyards to the south and west of Reims offers a taste of the beautiful Champagne countryside. To the south of Reims the area along the River Marne in particular is an exquisite location in which to buy that private villa in France.
Reims property in the heart of the city is quite ornate. One-bed apartments close to the centre start at around 75,000 euros, while a 2-bed Reims property in the Barbatre district could be purchased for around 160,000 euros. But, it is the French property in the surrounding countryside that is the main draw for property hunters to Reims. A 4-bed home in the Montagne de Reims Natural Park to the south of the city will cost in the region of 250,000 euros.
