The 800-year-old Basilica of Saint-Remi in Reims, a UNESCO World Heritage site, will reopen mid-June after emergency roof repairs. The basilica was partially closed in late April due to a roof slip. Specialized rope access technicians will begin securing the roof on May 26, with work expected to finish by June 12, 2026. The city of Reims will fund the emergency repairs, estimated at several hundred thousand euros. A larger restoration project, costing over 60 million euros, is planned for the next decade.
