The Porte de Paris is an ornate wrought iron gate in Reims, commissioned in 1774 for the coronation of King Louis XVI to replace the old medieval Porte de Vesle from the 14th century. Created by local blacksmiths Lecoq and Revel for 26000 livres, the gate was completed too late for the coronation ceremony and was finally installed in 1776 along the Vesle River. Due to changing urban needs and increasing automobile traffic, the gate has been relocated multiple times and now stands in the Basses Promenades on rue de Bir-Hakeim, having been classified as a historic monument in 1919.

According to https://www.reims-tourisme.com/activite/halle-de-lagery/: Built in 1543 in the center of the village of Lagery, the hall was dedicated to trade. From the 16th to the 18th century, there was a market every Tuesday and two or three annual fairs: agricultural markets, grain, wine, livestock, firewood, timber, building materials, industrial goods, etc. This building was listed as a historic monument in 1922. The hall, which was in danger of collapsing and had to be reinforced in 1983, was restored between 2003 and 2007. Since 2010, the town hall and the Lagery Festival Association have organized an arts and crafts market there every spring Sunday.

The Porte de Paris is located on the Basses Promenades, near the Manège and the Cirque de Reims. It is one of the city's "wandering monuments" and has already been moved three times. (c) https://www.reims-tourisme.com/activite/porte-de-paris/

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.
