Traveling from Paris to Reims on an SNCF train
From the Eiffel Tower to elegant tipples, travel from the French capital to Reims – the unofficial center of the Champagne region – in less than an hour by high-speed TGV train.
Pronounced ‘Rance’, Reims is one of the key cities in the Champagne region, and it’s perfect for a sightseeing trip from Paris. It can take just 46 minutes to travel from Paris to Reims on the fastest TGV INOUI services. Relax in wide comfortable seating and watch the world go by.
If you know when you want to travel, make sure you book in advance - you’re likely to save money on train tickets this way too, as prices increase as the departure date gets closer.
If you want to arrive in the city center, make sure your train is heading to Reims Ville. If your train terminates at Champagne-Ardenne TGV, you can change to a TER train for a short journey to Reims Ville station.
As the journey time is so short, Reims makes a great day trip destination from Paris – we recommend visiting the cathedral (just a 12-minute walk from the station) or booking a tour in one of the many Champagne houses dotted around the city. If you’re stuck for things to do, you can visit the Tourist Information Center (Office de Tourisme) just outside Reims train station (Gare de Reims).
