Halles du Boulingrin
A 1929 concrete-vaulted market, reopened after restoration, where you can buy local cheeses, deli items, and Champagne.
The market was designed by architect Maigrot using thin-shell concrete vaults, a cutting-edge technique at the time, and it became one of the emblems of Reims' postwar reconstruction. It was restored and reopened in 2012. On market days you can buy Champagne-region cheeses (Chaource and Langres), Reims ham, baked goods, fruits, and vegetables, and small bistros and restaurants surround the hall. Entry is free, and the main markets usually run on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday mornings. It is about a three-minute walk from the Porte de Mars.
Opening hours
Market usually Wed, Fri, Sat 07:00–13:00
