Champagne Reims, 1900

Reims in 1900 is the wine city's high Belle Époque: the soot-dark Gothic cathedral presides over tram wires and elegant arcades while millions of bottles rest in chalk caverns beneath the streets. The walk passes cathedral forecourts and the great champagne houses, busy shopping streets and riverside quays, then out to the vineyards climbing the Montagne de Reims beyond the boulevards.

24 scenes, 16 streets, squares and views, 8 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Reims as it stood in 1900 (“Reims”).
