Palais du Tau is the former residence of the Archbishop of Reims and a key site in the coronation ceremonies of French kings. Now a museum, it displays coronation regalia, tapestries, and sculptures. The grand hall, with its 18th-century décor, hosts the famous 'Banquet of the Kings' tapestry series. Visitors can see the coronation robes, the chalice of Saint Remi, and the Charlemagne statue. The palace's architecture blends Gothic and classical styles.
