What are the different ways to get from Paris to Reims, from Charles de Gaulle or Orly airport? My husband and I usually rent a car and drive, but I know it's possible to take a train to Reims. Can anyone provide detailed travel directions for taking the train, including estimated time and fare? Thanks.

Go Garde du Nord, the North train station, it's in Paris.If you want to go by car, look for the signs that say Soissons. Then look for the signs that say Reims. September is harvest time for the champagne grapes. Visit the champagne houses. Heidsack, or others, have free tours and you could check out the cool champagne cellars where the bubbly ferment over time. It's easier to get to Reims by Charles De Gauille airport, Orly is south of Paris and you'll have to face the bumper to bumper traffic. If you take the train, it would be quicker. I think the TVG, the superfast train, 200 mph, from Paris to Reims is ready this year, If it is, the travel time is about 30 minutes between both cities.
