The basics

Formerly the site of an ancient Gallo-Roman villa, the Tau Palace was later rebuilt, and today features a striking mix of Gothic and baroque architecture. In addition to serving as the residence of the Archbishop of Reims, the palace also hosted French kings prior to their coronations at the nearby Abbey of Saint-Remi. Today, the landmark is open to the public as a museum, displaying tapestries, reliquaries, and other extraordinary artifacts.

The Tau Palace is conveniently included on the Reims City Pass. It’s also possible to prebook tickets to the attraction before you travel.
