Grand Est

Venue hire in Reims for your events: seminars, team building, meetings

45 minutes from Paris, with champagne as your professional playground

Forty-five minutes from Paris-Est by TGV, Reims stands out as one of the best-positioned seminar destinations for Paris-based companies and European groups. Beyond proximity to the capital, venue rental in Reims also benefits from a particularly welcome “province” feel: a city built to a human scale, easy to explore on foot or by bike, carried by Champagne’s art of living.

Capital of champagne* (Taittinger, Pommery, Veuve Clicquot, Ruinart), Reims combines royal heritage, gastronomy, prestigious cellars and modern event facilities — including the Convention Centre and Reims Arena. Its UNESCO-listed Notre-Dame Cathedral, where 25 kings of France were crowned, impresses with its 2,300 statues. The Palace of Tau, the Saint-Rémi Basilica and a rich line-up of gourmet addresses keep building the city’s appeal year after year.

*Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health.

Organising a seminar in Reims, or in its wider urban community, with Atypiic means offering your teams something no other destination can: a Champagne tasting in the producer's own cellars, 30 metres underground, in galleries first dug by the Gallo-Romans.

Not a tasting class in a meeting room — an actual descent into the terroir. Team building in Reims draws on this unique landscape: Méhari rallies through the vineyards of Épernay, cooperage olympiads, team Champagne-sabering. Just as Villefranche-sur-Saône does with Beaujolais, Reims and its urban community turn the vineyard into a genuine playing field for cohesion.

Through its partner hotels — sometimes combinable in a Novotel + Greet format — Atypiic streamlines venue rental in Reims and across its urban community, alongside accommodation, catering and CSR-focused seminars built with local players committed to short Champagne supply chains. Between post-war Art Deco (the city was rebuilt) and medieval cellars, the aesthetic of Reims and its surrounding communes belongs to no one else.

By road

Reims is served by the A4 (Paris, 140 km, 1h30) and the A26 (Lille, Calais). The two motorways meet at junction 22 Reims/Tinqueux, just 5 minutes from the main seminar hotels.

From Paris or Lille: around 1h30.
From Strasbourg or Brussels: between 2 and 3 hours.
From Lyon: 4 to 5 hours via the A31 and A4.

Note: a green Crit’Air sticker (categories 1 to 3) is required to access certain areas of the city. Parking is available at most peripheral hotels (Novotel, Ibis Tinqueux).

For the city centre, public car parks lie 5 minutes’ walk from the cathedral. The city also operates park-and-ride facilities.

By train

Reims station is served by the TGV Est: Paris-Est in 45 minutes, with hourly departures at peak times.

Brussels-Midi via Thalys: 1h30.
Strasbourg: 1h30.
Lille: 1h.

The Champagne-Ardenne TGV station (5 km from the central station) is reachable by bus or taxi and connects to Atypiic’s partner hotels in Tinqueux–Reims in 5 minutes.

The TER regional network serves Épernay (45 min) for vineyard excursions. From the central station, tram line A reaches the historic centre and most hotels in 10 minutes.

By plane

Paris-CDG airport is 1h30 from Reims by road (130 km), or 30 min by TGV from the airport’s own station.

Air + TGV via CDG is the fastest combination: RER B to Paris-Nord, transfer to Paris-Est, then TGV to Reims (around 2 hours from landing).

Paris-Vatry airport (45 km from Reims) handles charters and occasional low-cost flights.

For participants travelling from Germany, Belgium or the UK, Eurostar + Thalys via Brussels is often faster than flying.

By public transport

Reims operates a tramway (lines A and B), urban buses (Citura) and electric self-service bikes.

Tram line A links the central station, the historic centre and the residential districts. Line B serves the hotel zones and the university campus.

For groups staying in Tinqueux or on the outskirts, taxis and ride-hailing services are available 24/7.

On foot, count 15 minutes between the central station and Notre-Dame Cathedral, walking through the Art Deco centre.

Team building in Champagne

Group activities, between the city and the vineyards

Team building in Reims draws on one unique raw material: champagne*. In the vineyards of the Montagne de Reims, inside the Gallo-Roman chalk cellars or through a gourmet challenge, your teams experience a form of cohesion directly rooted in the destination.

With Atypiic, team-building partners in Reims offer three approaches: Sport, with Winegrower Olympics and outdoor challenges; Fun, with Champagne-themed Olympics, gourmet rallies, team cooking or sabrage; and CSR, with creative, responsible activities such as “Une voiture qui cartonne” or formats built around local know-how. Each activity extends the identity of Reims: champagne*, heritage, gastronomy, vineyards and collective spirit.

These team building activities are a non-exhaustive selection of the options available in the city, presented as examples.
If you are interested in any of them, or would like other suggestions, we will put you directly in touch with the relevant providers, who will be able to advise you and organize a tailor-made experience.
