Gare
Place de la gare, 51100 Reims
The beautiful train station of Reims offers us its 95 meters of facade since 1860\. Its architecture was thought like that of a palace. A central pavilion, on the left the Paris pavilion and on the right the Charleville pavilion: three pavilions attached by a huge corridor and unique ornaments in the East of France for a railway establishment.
These are all assets that have earned her the nickname of Reims la Magnifique. She still bears the stigma of the turbulent periods of French history. It is enough to approach the facade to find many small holes. So many bullets, shells or gunfire from the First World War.
