What to expect

A residence for the monarchs of France during the coronation ceremonies, this ancient palace (whose name corresponds to its T-shaped plan) is on the Unesco World Heritage List. Extended and rebuilt over the centuries, notably at the end of the 15th century by Archbishop Briçonnet, the Palace of the Tau was given a new flamboyant facade before being converted into a courthouse, then into a gendarmerie barracks during the French Revolution. Visitors can contemplate the historical treasure of the cathedral of Reims, such as the famous chalice of St. Remi and the remains of the Holy Ampoule used for the baptism of Clovis. A remarkable series of costumes, tapestry hangings and medieval sculptures complete the collection.
