The cycle path offers the possibility to park outside and cycle into the city in a relaxed manner.

During construction work, remains of a Roman house (domus) were discovered three meters below ground, including pilasters and a road leading toward what is now the Banque de France. The building's reconstruction was made possible after the Duke of Guise repaid a debt of 22k livres to the city.

The Reims City Hall has served as the seat of municipal government since 1499 and features a square design with four wings surrounding a central courtyard. Originally built between 1627-1636 by city architect Jean Bonhomme, the building was completely destroyed by fire during World War I in 1917 and subsequently reconstructed, with President Gaston Doumergue inaugurating the rebuilt structure in 1928. The south-facing facade is crowned by an octagonal bell tower and features an equestrian statue of Louis XIII trampling two prisoners.

From its inauguration, residents criticized the fountain's weak water flow of only 12 liters per second, and the nude naiads representing the rivers caused public controversy. During World War II, German occupiers removed the bronze statue, but remarkably the fountain remained intact despite 60% of Reims being destroyed during the war.

The Subé Fountain stands in Place Drouet-d'Erlon in central Reims, funded by local benefactor Auguste Subé's donation of 200000 gold francs and inaugurated on July 15, 1906. The 17-meter tall column, made from Corgoloin and Chassignelles stone and decorated with vine motifs, represents the city of Reims and local industries including commerce, viticulture, industry, and agriculture. At its base, four naiads symbolize the rivers Suippe, Marne, Vesle, and Aisne that flow through the Marne department, while a golden Victory statue crowns the top.

The abbey served as the guardian of the Holy Ampulla (Sainte Ampoule) used in the coronation ceremonies of French kings, and Reims was known as Durocortorum when it served as the capital of the Roman province of Belgica.

The Saint-Remi Museum in Reims is housed in a former Benedictine abbey that was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991 and officially became a museum in 1978. The museum covers the period from Prehistory to the Renaissance (around 1530) and features regional archaeology collections, classical antiquities, and an extensive military history section
