Teddy Teuma opened the scoring for the visitors after 35 minutes when he fired into the top corner from outside the box.
Wissam Ben Yedder equalised for Monaco four minutes into the second half with a close-range header but Reda Khadra put Reims back in front in the 55th after weaving through the defence before slotting the ball home from a tight angle.
Reims scored a third through Azor Matusiwa in added time.
The top two will have the chance to widen the gap with Monaco as Nice visit Stade Rennais later on Saturday, while PSG are in action on Sunday at Lens. (Reporting by Tommy Lund in Gdansk; Editing by Ken Ferris)
