The new banks along the Canal will come to life in 2026. The people of Reims have been waiting for this for a long time and are sure not to be disappointed…
Reviving the Reims Banks
Led by the city of Reims and the Grand Reims urban community, the redevelopment of the banks aims to energize the canal banks, which have long been neglected. Reims is joining the ranks of cities transforming their riverbanks and waterways into vibrant living spaces. It may not be as grand as Paris Plage, but it’s definitely a great start! For a little preview, the residents of Reims can already try out the experience of a trip on a Boboat !
An Aquatic Garden for a Nature Break
Another major highlight of the redevelopment project is a water garden designed as a green oasis in the heart of the city. Between aquatic plants, ...Relaxation areas and wooden walkways, this future green gem will be perfect for a stroll or a picnic by the water. Reims truly lives up to its reputation as a green city!
Barges for sipping on the water
Voies Navigables de France (VNF) has even launched a call for projects to install these barges. Two strategic locations of 400 m² are being offered on Boulevard Paul Doumer on the right bank of the canal.
