Comte de Rohan-Chabo outdid himself when he restored this castle in the early part of the 20th century. Its main building is made of sandstone and brick and it is surrounded by one the the most lavish parks in all of France. On the inside of the castle, you'll find furniture that has extraordinary historical significance. It is open to visitors year-round with the exception of Christmas and New Years days. The fee to see this treasure is 7 Euros for adults and 4.50 Euros for an unaccompanied visit.
This is a historical site that was once the palace of the archbishops of the eleventh century and 32 kings of France who attended their coronation there. This palace houses the original statues from the Cathedral of Reims, as well as tapestries from the 15th century. Church remains such as the "Talisman of Charlemagne" and the "Holy Light Bulb" are on display here. UNESCO has honored the Palais du Tau in Reims much as it has the Cathedral of Notre Dame Cathedral, also in Reims, by putting it on its World Heritage List. This palace is closed on Mondays and holidays but is open every other day of the year. Fee for entering the palace and taking a tour is 9.50 euros, and 6 euros for children and senior citizens.
This is the site where 32 kings of France were crowned. The towers that are over 200 feet high offer a breathtaking view of the city. And the interior of the cathedral contains some of the most well-preserved sculptures in France. Along with Palace du Tau, UNESCO has included the cathedral on its World Heritage List. Please call the cathedral before you go as it has a variable schedule. A combined ticket to the cathdral and the Palace du Tau costs 7 euros, and unaccompanied tours of both are 4.50 euros. Contact the Palace du Tau for details.
