Reims is a historic town that lots of tourists visit, especially for its famous Champagne. It also has quite narrow streets at times. For these reasons, it’s recommended that you drive a compact car, such as a Toyota Aygo, as this will be easier to handle in busy conditions and easier to park. If you plan to travel into the French countryside, then you may want something a little more robust. An SUV, like a Fiat 500X, is great as it provides superior grip and enhanced handling.

You need to stay below the speed limits when driving in France or you risk being prosecuted by the local authorities. For instance, when you’re on a motorway, you can travel no faster than 130 km/h, whereas if you’re on dual carriageways, there is a maximum of 110 km/h. On other rural roads around Reims, you can travel as fast as 80 km/h, whilst in Reims itself or in other urban settings, the speed limit is 50 km/h.
