Closed in 1972, partly demolished in 2002. Some traces remain.

The track was made entirely of public roads, all of which exist today,
meaning it is still possible to drive the track layout.

All that's really left is the start/finish straight where a grandstand
and part of the pits still stand (with the advertising largely intact).

Like Rouen, this should have the street circuit "S"

In addition to F1 this track also hosted the famous 12 Hours of Reims,
the first race was held in 1926 with later incarnations in 1953-1954,
1956-1958, 1964-1965, and 1967. The race was noted for its unique
timing. The event began with a Le Mans start at midnight with the
drivers then racing through the night and into morning for a finish at noon.

Jo Schlepper and Guy Ligier won what was ultimately the final running of
the race in 1967 driving a Ford GT40. The race was to return in 1968 but
was cancelled amid the strikes and massive protests France saw
throughout May of that year. It was never revived afterward.
