Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Reims, Reims

A nice church to visit while on the way to champagne country. Our tour from Paris made a brief stop here, and it made for a bit of awe and introspection. The building itself is adorned with hundreds of statues and statues holding statues. Inside, stained glass windows give everything an intentional tinge of pink and purple hues. Near the back, there are relics of saints and several extravagant chapels.

The cathedral is breath taking architecture and a wonder. I am trying to figure out, how could people from the past and would have appreciated the fact that this cathedral receives nowadays only or most of the time visitors? Where is faith gone? Where are the believers and Christians?

Grace, beauty, majesty and perfection, timeless, all these are combined in the cathedral of Reims. Built in the 13th century in the Gothic architectural style with many statues and stylish decorations, it still reminds us that the power of the true Faith is immutable and eternal, as well as the creations themselves inspired by God's power and might.

What an impressive place with an incredible history. Completed in 1275, Kings of France have had their coronation here. Free to enter, take a stroll and admire the flying buttresses and stained glass. Keep an eye out for the smiling angel.

A true work of art, its size and architectural details simply take your breath away. One of the most beautiful and well-maintained cathedrals in France. Both the interior with the glass painting and the exterior with the architectural details are worth it, you will give them a good part of the time to be admired. Moreover, the cathedral can be visited with a guide in French, German, English.
