Foire de Noël et des Rois

The Foire de Noël et des Rois (Christmas and Kings Fair) in Reims transforms the Chaussée Bocquaine into a vibrant funfair wonderland from early December through early January. Located near the Auguste Delaune stadium and Parc Léo Lagrange, this traditional Christmas fair complements Reims' main Christmas market with approximately 100 attractions and rides. Families will find entertainment for all ages, from classic carousels and children's rides to thrilling attractions like the Booster Cyber One, a 40-meter articulated arm reaching speeds of 110 km/h. The fair features traditional fairground games, pop balloon stalls, and newer additions including a pirate ship and the Cancan Show Jumper. Free shuttle service connects the fair to the Christmas market at the Cathedral, making it easy to experience both festive attractions in one visit. The atmosphere is lively and festive, with extended hours during school holidays and special events including reduced-price days and fireworks displays. While entry to the fair is free, individual attractions have their own pricing. The convenient location offers nearby parking and excellent public transport connections via tram (Comédie or Courlancy stops) and bus line 2 (Bocquaine stop). Plan to spend 2-3 hours enjoying the rides and fairground atmosphere, especially magical during evening hours when the lights create a festive ambiance.
