"After the cathedral, which is almost equal in size, Saint-Remi basilica is the most famous church in Reims and was for a long time attached to an important abbey, the Abbaye Saint-Remi in Reims.

This Romano-Gothic basilica is one of the most remarkable achievements of Romanesque art in the North of France. 126 meters long, it impresses with its depth and the feeling of intimacy it provides.

It was built in the eleventh century to house the holy light bulb and the relics of St. Remi, the bishop who baptized Clovis in 498. His tomb (1847) occupies the center of the choir.

The sober Romanesque nave and Gothic choir (late twelfth century) with four floors constitute an impressive ensemble of lightness and harmony. The facade was built at the same time as the choir. "

" Après la cathédrale, qu'elle égale presque en taille, la basilique Saint-Remi est l'église la plus célèbre de Reims. Elle fut longtemps rattachée à une importante abbaye, l'abbaye Saint-Remi de Reims.

Cette basilique romano-gothique est l'une des plus remarquables réalisations de l'art roman dans le Nord de la France. Longue de 126 m, elle impressionne par sa profondeur et le sentiment d'intimité qu'elle procure.

Elle a été construite au XIe siècle pour abriter la sainte ampoule ainsi que les reliques de saint Remi, l'évêque qui baptisa Clovis en 498. Son tombeau (1847) occupe le centre du chœur.

La sobre nef romane et le chœur gothique (fin du XIIe siècle) à quatre étages constituent un ensemble impressionnant de légèreté et d'harmonie. La façade fut construite en même temps que le chœur. "
