The Tau Palace, or Palais du Tau, is a significant historical landmark in Reims, France, with a history dating back to the 6th century. Originally a residence for the Archbishop of Reims and later for French monarchs, the palace is named for its distinctive ‘T’ shape, reflecting the Greek letter tau. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991, it stands as a testament to the region’s rich history. Visitors can explore the grand architecture and learn about the royal coronations and other significant events that took place within its walls, though it is currently temporarily closed.
