Reims-Champagne (BA 112) Airport: where to stay, areas and…

Reims-Prunay airport is a small airfield about fifteen kilometres from the centre, reachable by taxi in a quarter of an hour or by train from the nearby Prunay station in about ten minutes: with few flights, the choice of where to sleep depends more on your travel plans than on the distance from the airport. Anyone who wants the cathedral, the champagne houses and the historic centre close at hand finds it more convenient to stay in the city. Anyone arriving by train prefers the area around the station, while anyone attending a trade fair or a conference finds the district of La Pompelle, near the Parc des Expositions, practical.
