All I can say is WOW! I was WOW when I saw the Notre-Dame in Paris and I was even more WOW when I saw this one in Reims. I love Cathedrals and the architecture and the history though! MUST SEE!

This cathedral traces it origins back to the 5th century. 30 different French kings came here to be coronated. There is a statue of each of them mounted high in front. The workmanship is stunning, and it's hard to believe what they built with limited tools.

This cathedral, wrecked in WWI, is a sublime statement about the power of the human imagination. We just happened to arrive, late in the day, when the interior was filled with singing and organ music for a baptism (a very happy 16-year-old girl). We just sat and listened then made our way to the back of the church where the... More

Try to go to the light show; you will not be disappointed. It starts with the design and build of the cathedral then moving thro the changes over the centuries. the colours with all the statues illuninated is quite awe inspiring. For free - definitely worth staying up for.

This is one of the wonders of the world, beautiful stained glass, superb architecture and much quieter than Notre dame in Paris.

This was a magnificent cathedral. There is nothing else to say. Best that I have ever seen. Notre Dame Paris was a bit underwhelming after this.

We arrived at the cathedral about ten to eleven at night for the show to start and I expected to see some coloured lights on the front of the cathedral. Then the show began and omg it was absolutely amazing, the light show told the story of the cathedral through time and the colours and graphics were unbelieveable. To be... More

Worth a stop if you in Reims, the windows are done by Chagall and far more impressive than Notre-Dame in Paris.
