Guided tour: the cathedral of Reims for children

Welcome to the famous Reims Cathedral, one of the most famous monuments in France, located in the city of Reims, in the north-east of France. This guided tour is specially designed for children between the ages of 7 and 12, accompanied by an adult, and lasts one hour. The children will be able to participate in different games to explore the cathedral and discover its hidden mysteries. They will also have the opportunity to solve a riddle to discover the name of a mystery character linked to the cathedral.

Built between the 13th and 15th centuries, the cathedral is an iconic example of French Gothic architecture and has been the coronation site of the kings of France for centuries. As you enter the cathedral, you’ll admire its beautiful, colorful stained glass windows, designed to tell stories from the Bible. The walls and columns of the building are also adorned with large statues of saints and kings of France.

The highlight of the visit is the cathedral’s choir, decorated with many beautiful sculptures and stained glass windows telling the story of the life of Jesus Christ. The cathedral tower offers a panoramic view of the city of Reims, while the astronomical clock built in the 15th century tells the time, date, phase of the moon and the position of the sun in the zodiac.

For a more playful experience, children can collect letters along the way to discover the name of the mystery character linked to the cathedral. And to make your visit easier, a CPA parking lot is available at the cathedral.

This guided tour is a unique and enriching experience for children, which will cultivate them and deepen their knowledge of the Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral.
