Paris to Reims Christmas Market 1 Day Tour

Experience Reims at Christmas with sparkling lights, festive markets, Champagne tastings and charming stalls surrounding the cathedral, creating a magical holiday atmosphere in the heart of Champagne.

Enjoy the Christmas Market in Reims — a festive winter escape combining charm, lights, and local flavors. Each holiday season, Reims transforms its historic centre into a winter wonderland. The market runs from 26 November to 28 December 2025 — held on the picturesque Promenades Jean‑Louis Schneiter near the city railway station and within walking distance of the city’s cathedral and main attractions. Around 150 wooden chalets offering regional specialties, crafts, festive gifts and seasonal treats — perfect for finding handcrafted souvenirs or Christmas gifts. The air fills with the scents of gingerbread, vin chaud or mulled wine, warm treats, local cheeses, and Champagne region delicacies — embracing the local gastronomic spirit of the region. For magic and views: hop on the 55-meter ferris wheel at Place Drouet d'Erlon — its enclosed, heated cabins give you panoramic views over Reims lit up by festive lights, ideal at night. Families will love the extra touches: children’s activities, a “Children’s Kingdom” with a little train or Santa’s workshop in the “Enchanted Forest” at the esplanade near the historic city gate. As evening falls, the city centre glows: streets and buildings lit with twinkling lights, Christmas decorations along the promenades, and subtle festive illumination turn Reims into a dreamy holiday backdrop. To make it even richer: some visitors combine the market with a visit to nearby Champagne houses — sampling local Champagne or Champagne-region specialties, which makes the festive walk also a celebration of the region.
