Located in the Grand Est region, Marne department, just a few kilometers southeast of Reims, Taissy is a charming rural commune nestled in the Vesle River valley. With a population of around 2,200, it spans 11.53 km² and sits at an average altitude of 87 m. Inhabited since Gallo-Roman times, Taissy has preserved its village identity while developing modern amenities. It is known as a “3-flower” green village, rewarded for its floral landscapes and environmental care. The town’s most notable monument is the 12th-century Notre-Dame Church, a fine example of Romanesque architecture with historic stonework and a serene bell tower. Despite heavy damage in both World Wars, Taissy retains its historic heart and authentic character. Surrounded by Champagne vineyards, wheat and barley fields, and vegetable gardens, it embodies the agricultural richness of the region. The nearby “Holes of Leu” marsh nature reserve offers protected wetlands, ideal for walking and wildlife watching. Economically, Taissy benefits from its proximity to Reims, with a mix of local shops, artisans, small industries and wine-related businesses. Today, Taissy invites visitors to experience quiet village life, Romanesque heritage, Champagne viticulture and preserved nature, a peaceful counterpoint to the bustle of nearby Reims.
