Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Reims, Reims

Absolutely splendid! Its architecture is the most astonishing I have ever seen! After all the events that degraded it since 1211, it has continuously been under renovation and now it is almost finished. It is a symbol of the French history that should definitely be visited.

A magnificent cathedral that challenges even the Notre Dame in Paris. Inside it has 3 beautiful rose windows that are breath taking. This spot is is made better by being in a town filled with a rich champagne culture and small crowds, not being nearly as crowded or dirty as Paris can be. A strong recommendation for anyone seeking architectural beauty in a less traveled place.

Knowing the destruction that this historic building suffered during WW1, the quality of the ongoing restoration work is extremely impressive. Unfortunately it may take another hundred years or more to complete the work, and some of the Cathedral's treasures can never be replaced. Whether you are of a Christian faith or not, these magnificent buildings stand as testimonials to the values and skills of those who built them. Just one of the must visit places within the city of Reims, for all those interested in French history. Visitors should also take the time to view another local world heritage site: the Basilica and Museum at St Remi. Again important and impressive restorations of locations with serious history. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful historic cathedral. More impressive than Notre Dame in Paris and just as historically interesting. An interesting mix of old and new as much of it has been restored after WW1 bombings.

Truly beautiful gothic cathedral, with a beautiful history behind it! Definitely worth visiting, as it's completely free and you can buy souvenirs from inside and even the original Champagne from the shops around the cathedral.
