The huge Abbey Church of St-Remi is about half an hour's unmemorable walk from Reims Cathedral, and thus never visited (in fact it's not difficult to drive there and there is plenty of parking). It has a magnificent Romanesque nave space, and the adjoining monastic buildings house one of the best regional museums.

Most of the Romanesque sculpture has gone, but if you look carefully there are a few gems still to be seen.
