Reims, France

Festive Reims Cathedral & the Luxembourg American Cemetery

Christmas Market Visit and Pay Homage to US Servicemen Explore the stunning Reims Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and pay your respects to fallen US soldiers. During a guided tour, view the cathedral’s exterior and admire the Gothic architectural features. See the Gallery of Kings, then step inside to view the stunning stained glass windows dating from the 13th through 20th centuries, including the glorious north rose window and windows designed by Marc Chagall. You will also have free time for lunch (at your own expense) and to browse the stalls of the Christmas market, immersing yourself in the yuletide atmosphere as you shop for regional specialties and festive gifts. During a visit to the solemn Luxembourg American Cemetery, you can take a moment to pause and reflect on the events of World War II. Many of the 5,073 US soldiers laid to rest here fought in the infamous Battle of the Bulge, including General George S. Patton. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
