Villa Douce
Built between 1929 and 1934 for notary André Douce, Villa Douce is an Art Deco mansion designed by Pol Gosset. Its brick façade and interior inspired by the ocean liner style make it a unique landmark in Reims’ cultural heritage.
Listed for its remarkable music salon, it now houses the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne and opens its doors to the public on special occasions, such as the Relais du Goût.
