Comments

You can walk from your plane to the restaurant and back, no hassle. But you have to pay the fees at the desk below the tower. Shuttle to the City center was 35€ one-way in 2017. Steep but the city is definitely worth a visit. The Reims cathedral is one of the biggest in France and was where French kings were crowned. Plenty of stylish shops along some boulevards, like in Paris. There is also an older basilica which is worth a walk.
