Les Basses Promenades, located in Reims, France, offer a refreshing escape into nature within the city center. Created in the 18th century on the site of former ramparts, these promenades connect the historic city center to the suburbs. Landscapers Leroux, father and son, designed the Promenades starting in 1733, envisioning them as a green haven for relaxation and community engagement. Historically, the promenades were divided into two sections by the Square Colbert: the 'Hautes Promenades' (now Promenades Jean-Louis Schneiter) and the 'Basses Promenades'. The Basses Promenades extend from the square towards the Reims circus. The Basses Promenades feature a dense canopy of trees, mainly old maples and plane trees. Recent renovations, completed in April 2022, have revitalized the area, adding features like a carousel, refreshment kiosks, and play areas. The redesign aims to create a welcoming space for all, integrating the area more fully into the city. Visitors can enjoy walking paths, open green spaces, and a tranquil atmosphere.
