Reims is Champagne with a cathedral, cellars, art deco streets, food, and vineyards close enough for a short trip. It works when the wine region needs a real city base.
Avoid making the day in Reims depend on one neat sequence of adjacent sites. Once you start in Reims, keep the next stops close enough to preserve the day. In Reims, it is usually better to choose a nearby church, market, cafe, gallery, or walk than to cross town for a secondary stop. For Reims, extra time is useful when lodging, stations, and cultural sites do not line up neatly.
