    The Saint-Rémi basilica, is an important historical place, because it is dedicated to Saint-Rémi, known to have baptized Clovis first king of France. The latter accepted under pressure from his Burgundian wife, Princess Clotilde, to put herself under the protection of the cross. Remi the bishop of Reims in the fifth century thus became converter of the Franks to Catholicism, unknowingly inaugurating the beginning of the dynasty of the kings of France.

      The Basilique de Saint-Rémi in Reims is a medieval abbey church that was consecrated in 1049 by Pope Leo IX. Built in Romanesque and Gothic styles, the church contains the relics of Saint Remi, the bishop who baptized Clovis in 498. The church is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with Reims Cathedral and the Palais du Tau. The church is 126 meters long and has an impressive interior with a sober Romanesque nave and a slightly Gothic choir. The church is open to visitors every day and guided tours are also organized by the Office de Tourisme.

        The basilica and its beautiful forecourt can be easily reached from the canal with little traffic.
