Palais du Tau

Wow, I've been through a lot of feelings going through this place with a great historical load. If you are a fan of history, I recommend you to visit this place, it is the place where the kings were crowned, you can discover a multitude of personal objects of the royal family, clothes, jewelry. The location is impressive as a building, also right next to the cathedral. Everything is impeccable, mysterious, well maintained.

This is a place where Kings have been crowned. It is stunning and mystical at the same time. Situated next to the Cathédrale Notre Dame de Reims, it is a place to see if you are fan of history and royalty. The display is amazing and takes you on a journey across the lives of Kings. We were alone in the museum early morning so that could be the best part of the day for a visit. Zero queueing and the whole place just for us, the stroll became almost a VIP one. It will not take more than 1 hour unless you really want to spend 5mins contemplating every display, carpet or statues. Equipped with the Education pass and a kid of 11, the entry was free on top of that. Plan your visit and buy your tickets in advance to go quicker otherwise wake up early and enjoy the museum at your own pace freely.

Great artifact collection. Worth getting the audio guide because all the exhibit descriptions are in French. I would recommend getting a combined ticket because entry price is 8 Euros.

This is a must in order to get a full understanding of the cathedral. Definitely worth the entrance fee.

Beautiful museum, although none of the explanations were in English it was still worth a visit.

Good museum featuring an explanation of the coronation ceremony, regalia, and treasures, along with a history of the cathedral structure and many sculptures saved from the facade.

I have been trying to experience the museum of my adopted country while covid has kept most tourists away. I have seen a lot of museums that have done a good job balancing the safety of visitors with the ability to still see and understand the exhibit. This was not one of them. The gestures taken for covid seem haphazard at best and nonsensical at worst. Also, as a warning, all explanation plaques are in French which is fine. More worryingly, signs indicating directions and important information are inconsistently translated into English and German (sometimes one, sometimes both, sometimes neither) and the translations (in English anyway) are mostly terrible.

I'd say it's a must for anyone in Reims or stopping by in the city. The coolest part for me was to see some of the old statues that fell off the cathedral which are now on display inside the palais. Really makes you appreciate the craftsmanship and the detail that went into buildings back then.
