Description
Rheims is one of the oldest towns in France, so old that legendary accounts, in an endeavour to outdo one another, carry back its foundation sometimes to 1440 B. C. after the Flood, sometimes to the siege of Troy. Lying at the intersection of the natural routes between Belgium and Burgundy, and between the Parisian basin and Lorraine, i. e. between political districts that long remained different in character, and regions having different commercial resources, it was at one and the same time the "oppidum" and market-town. Its military and commercial position destined it early to be a great city.
