Festivals near Reims

Reims carries music in its very architecture: beneath its streets run the crayères, the chalk cellars where champagne slowly ages, and at the heart of the coronation city stands Notre-Dame cathedral, the stone setting where the kings of France were once crowned. It is in this backdrop that Les Flâneries Musicales de Reims unfold a sprawling June festival each year, from the great classical repertoire to today's music, filling the city's churches, gardens and heritage halls with sound. A more electric scene orbits all around, driven by rock gatherings such as Moissons Rock and L'Arsenal Rock Festival, which set up their amps in the villages of the Marne, just outside Reims.

As the warm season unfolds, the Champagne hillsides carry the celebration far beyond the old ramparts: in the Marne valley, 2 Rivières / Ferté Jazz draws jazz lovers beneath the leafy canopy, at the western edge of the region.
