During your 3-hour visit to Reims Cathedral, don't miss the extraordinary facade with its gallery of 2,303 statues, including the famous Smiling Angel. Inside, admire the 13th-century stained glass windows, including contemporary ones by Marc Chagall. Look for the spot where French kings were crowned for nearly 1,000 years. The cathedral's exceptional Gothic architecture earned it UNESCO World Heritage status, representing the height of French High Gothic style.
With limited time in Reims, focus on visiting one premier champagne house for a cellar tour and tasting. Major houses like Taittinger, Veuve Clicquot, and Mumm offer hour-long tours of their chalk caves (crayères), explaining the champagne-making process followed by tastings. Alternatively, the Villa Demoiselle offers art nouveau architecture with champagne tasting. For a quick experience, visit the Champagne Bar at the Tourism Office featuring rotating local producers.
Amiens Cathedral is France's largest Gothic cathedral and a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for being 1/3 larger than Notre-Dame de Paris. During your 2.5-hour visit, note its remarkable architectural harmony from being built in a single style over just 50 years. The cathedral features exceptional stone sculptures, the original 13th-century labyrinth floor pattern, and soaring 42-meter nave heights. Don't miss the famous weeping angel sculpture and the preserved head reliquary said to belong to John the Baptist.
The Hortillonnages (floating gardens) of Amiens are a unique 300-hectare network of market gardens crisscrossed by small canals dating back to Roman times. If time permits during your 2.5-hour visit take a traditional flat-bottomed boat tour (barque a cornet) from April to October to explore this peaceful green space. Tours last 45 minutes and depart from 54 Boulevard Beauville offering a completely different perspective of Amiens beyond its Gothic masterpieces.
Reims is approximately 144 kilometers (89 miles) northeast of Paris, with a driving time of about 1.5 hours. Amiens is about 142 kilometers (88 miles) north of Paris, also roughly 1.5 hours by car. The distance between Reims and Amiens is approximately. 140 kilometers (87 miles), taking about 1.5 hours to drive. Your private Daytrip driver handles all transportation, allowing you to enjoy the changing landscapes of the Champagne and Picardy regions.
In Reims, try Champagne region specialties like jambon de Reims (ham cooked in champagne), biscuit rose de Reims (pink cookies traditionally dipped in champagne), and Chaource cheese. Amiens is famous for its macarons (different from Parisian ones—these are almond-based biscuits with honey), ficelle Picarde (savory crepes with ham, mushrooms, and cream), and pate de canard d'Amiens (duck pate with pistachios). Both cities offer excellent patisseries for quick local treats.
April through October offers the most pleasant weather for exploring both cities. Reims hosts a spectacular summer light show on the cathedral facade (June-September), while Amiens features a similar illumination event during summer evenings and the Christmas period. The Amiens Christmas Market (late November to December) is one of France's largest. To avoid crowds at the champagne houses in Reims, consider a weekday visit outside the peak summer months.
