Stained glass windows at the Cathedral in Reims, France. These look more modern because many are restored and sime were replaced. They were destroyed and damaged during the war. In the 1970's Marc Chagall designed and installed some of the newer windows. #givethanks #chagall #givethanks

Exterior views of the Cathedral in Reims, France. The back of the building is as lovely as the front. The exterior is so intriguing and detailed. You can look at it for hours and still not be able to absorb how magnificent it is to see. #givethanks #couplestrip #givethanks

My favorite angel in France, the Smiling Angel at the Cathedral in Reims. We went for a tour of the vineyards, but stopped by here as well. Such a unique and playful look on her face. Would love to have met the person who crafted this masterpiece. #givethanks #reims #francetravel #couplestrip #givethanks

The oldest Cathedral in France

Don't worry about the burning of Notre Dame, there are still more niche places to visit.

Just as I was preparing to go to France, I learned about the unfortunate fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. I had to reluctantly cancel my visit, but later found out about an even older cathedral than Notre-Dame. The Notre-Dame Cathedral in Reims, the capital of the Champagne region of France, has witnessed the coronation of 25 French monarchs in history, including Clovis, the first king of France, who was baptized here. From 1027 until the French Revolution, it was also the place where almost every French king held their coronation ceremony. The most famous of these was undoubtedly in 1429, when Joan of Arc escorted Charles VII here for his coronation. The Notre-Dame de Paris is modeled after many parts of the Cathedral of Reims, so it is very similar. In addition, because it is not as famous as the Notre-Dame de Paris, the number of visitors is very small, making it truly niche. And there is no ticket required to enter, sometimes you can catch the choir singing and the sunshine on your body feels like a perfect taste of heaven. Reims is also known as the Champagne capital. If you stay for a long time, you can make an appointment to visit your favorite Champagne factory.

Lance Cathedral | More beautiful and stunning than Notre Dame de Paris

Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Reims, Reims Cathedral, Notre-Dame Cathedral of Reims Location: France Feature: The coronation site of French kings, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. The Cathedral of Reims is located in Reims, France, which is known as the "City of Kings". Therefore, the Cathedral of Reims holds a significant position in the history of France, and its importance is no less than that of Notre-Dame de Paris. The Cathedral of Reims was once the place where the first French king Clovis was baptized. From 1027 until the French Revolution, French kings had to be crowned here in the "city of coronations". The most famous of these was when Joan of Arc escorted Charles VII here for his coronation in 1429. The grandeur of the Cathedral of Reims is described as a major achievement of French Gothic art. The floor plan of the cathedral is calculated rigorously, achieving almost perfect symmetry. The front of the cathedral has many gorgeous rose windows, and the numerous statues above the rose windows are also a major feature of the Cathedral of Reims. The front of the church, constructed in three sections, is dominated by two symmetrical spires. The patterns and sculptures on the exterior walls of the church are also very beautiful and moving. Especially the four standing statues on the right side of the central entrance on the front, which are masterpieces of Gothic architecture at its peak. In a corner of the church, there is a statue of Saint Joan of Arc with a military flag behind her. After the liberation of Orleans, she inspired the timid Charles VII to bravely go to Reims and complete his coronation ceremony here. In the Hundred Years' War between England and France, Saint Joan of Arc led the French army to lift the siege of Orleans by the English army. On July 17, 1429, the French prince Charles was crowned king in the Reims Cathedral. It is not common to see statues of common people in Catholic churches, which shows the high status of Saint Joan of Arc in the hearts of the French people. The Cathedral of Reims and the Notre-Dame de Paris both belong to Gothic church architecture, but its majestic architectural form and scale are above the Notre-Dame de Paris. The cathedral is not only a landmark building in Reims, but also one of the most beautiful and spectacular churches in France!
