Reims Promenades

Les Promenades de Reims, a great green space in the heart of the city

A vast leisure space laid out in the heart of Reims, Les Promenades are devoted to recreation and family enjoyment. This landscaped ensemble, inherited from the eighteenth century and deeply reworked, offers a breath of fresh air in the centre of the city. The Reims audio-guided tour stops here to show how the city has managed to preserve, over the centuries, its places to stroll.

From the High to the Low Promenades

From the eighteenth century, a promenade space was laid out here for the inhabitants. The ensemble is today divided into two parts, the High Promenades and the Low Promenades, the latter offering a shaded setting planted with tall trees, including majestic plane trees. In 2019, a 3,000-square-metre esplanade was inaugurated in its current form, extending this long Reims tradition of the public garden.

What to see

Les Promenades now offer children's playgrounds, sports and leisure facilities, water mirrors and kiosks, in a wooded, convivial setting. It is a lively place, enjoyed by the people of Reims for relaxation as much as for open-air events. Between tall trees and modern amenities, the spot illustrates the place given to nature and leisure in the heart of the city.

Practical information

Les Promenades extend through the heart of Reims, near the centre, reachable on foot. It is a public green space, freely accessible during the city's park opening hours, which may vary with the season. The paths, flat and wide, are well suited to families, pushchairs and visitors with reduced mobility.
