Tips from the Community
While staying on the asphalt, you can cover more than 24 km. From the St. Brice Courcelles side, you can go up to La Neuvillette, then to Courcy, it's an unpaved road (passable but not for road bikes). After Courcy, there's asphalt up to Berry au Ferry (this allows you to discover the Sapigneul Owl, about 150 m on dirt road). On the other side, after Sillery, you can continue to Beaumont (asphalt). Then, on a dirt road passable by mountain bike, you can go to the Billy Arch, where the canal passes through a tunnel.

Located between the Vesle River and Reims train station, it houses the Congress Palace and Circus within its grounds.

Built in 1733, it is located in the lower promenade of Reims, between the Vesle River and Reims train station. Its enclave includes the Palais des Congrès and the Cirque. Originally a French-style garden, it was remodeled in 1883, and the 1865 bandstand was removed. The current bandstand is the one that stood higher up on the promenade. It was renovated again in 1994. For its modernization, it was designed with a children's play area, a decorative spring that also feeds a pond and the bandstand, as well as an esplanade with fountains and sculptures forming the reception area of the Palais des Congrès. It includes a rocky area created in 1896 based on a design by Durand: an alpine style with a sequoia tree and a stream. It has been listed as a Remarkable Garden since 2015.

A green vein of peace and movement that stretches for 24 kilometres along the Aisne-Marne canal. Once an old towpath, now a lively promenade for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. This green corridor winds through Reims, connecting city life with nature, passing historic sites such as the old bathhouses, Port Colbert and charming parks. An unexpected oasis in the heart of the Champagne capital, where history, sport and relaxation come together.
