This cemetery steeped in history is worth the detour

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.

This is a unique town hall, and one that's right in the city center. An impressive building, built in 1927.

I highly recommend this brasserie/restaurant! In the morning, people meet for coffee or wine, and lunch is served from 11:30 a.m. We only had drinks, but the food looked good.

A beautiful drive into town – the roundabout with its fountain and flowers. Doesn't that make your heart sing? A lot is being done here to make the town look beautiful.

This fountain is a magnificent example of Belle Époque ornamentation, rich in symbolism about nature, economy and identity. Thanks to the donation of Subé, the artistic design of Narjoux c.s., and recent restorations, the monument is a beloved landmark and a reborn symbol of Reims.

This monumental fountain, the work of architect André Narjoux, was inaugurated in 1906. At the four corners of the pedestal are four statues symbolizing the rivers that supply the region with water: the Marne, the Vesle, the Suippe, and the Aisne. The bronze Winged Victory, taken by German soldiers in 1941, was replaced in an identical manner in 1989 thanks to a sponsored initiative.
