Reims Arena

Reims Arena is a modern multi-purpose arena designed by Wilmotte & Associés for major concerts, live shows, sporting competitions and other large-scale events. Its flexible configuration can accommodate up to approximately 9,000 visitors, depending on the type of event and the arrangement of the stage and seating. Contemporary architecture and extensive glazed façades give the venue a distinctive appearance close to central Reims.

The interior is designed with an emphasis on good sightlines and high-quality acoustics, while adaptable seating and floor configurations allow the arena to host concerts, sports and major productions. Visitors have access to bars serving drinks and snacks, and the venue also includes VIP areas and facilities designed for guests with reduced mobility.

The public entrance is located at 24 Bd Jules César, Reims, France, beside Esplanade Robert Hossein. The République car park, offering several hundred spaces, is directly opposite the arena and provides a short walk to the entrance.

Reims, one of the most recognizable cities in France's Grand Est region and a historic centre of Champagne, combines a rich cultural heritage with a modern programme of concerts, sporting fixtures and major live events. Reims Arena is one of the city's main venues for concerts, shows and sporting events, while Stade Auguste-Delaune gives Reims a strong football identity. The compact city centre allows visitors to combine an event easily with restaurants, bars, hotels and renowned Champagne houses, making Reims a practical choice for both a short stay and an entire weekend.

Public transport is operated by Grand Reims Mobilités, with the T1 and T2 tram lines and an extensive bus network. The main rail gateways to the city are Gare de Reims (Gare Centre) in the centre and Gare Champagne-Ardenne TGV in Bezannes, while the T2 line connects the TGV station with the urban area and central Reims. For Reims Arena, convenient options include bus U4 to the République stop and U20 to the Justice stop, while Stade Auguste-Delaune is conveniently served by the Comédie and Courlancy tram stops on lines T1 and T2. This layout makes it possible to reach the main arenas and stadiums without complicated transfers, while many central locations are also within walking distance.

Before or after an event, it is worth walking through the historic centre and visiting Notre-Dame de Reims, one of the city's best-known landmarks, as well as the neighbouring Palais du Tau. The walk can continue towards the ancient Porte de Mars and Place Royale, along streets connecting some of the city's most important historic areas. Reims is also one of the key centres of the Champagne world, so its numerous Champagne houses and cellars provide an additional opportunity to discover the local tradition. This combination of landmarks, gastronomy and events makes it easy to turn a ticket for a concert or match into a complete city experience.
