Notre-Dame de Reims  ( Our Lady of Rheims ) is the  cathedral  of  Reims , where the  kings  of France  were once crowned.   Marc Chagall  designed the  stained glass  installed in 1974 in the axis of the apse.

This is one of the most impressive Gothic Cathedrals in France, if not the most beautiful one. At leat for me it is. Like the cathedrals of Amiens or Chartres the Rheims Cathedral is a UNESCO world heritage site. You start to feel very small inside this building and on sunny days you can see beautiful light reflections through the colourful stained glass windows. This also a nice place to sit down, enjoy the atmosphere and write some postacards to your family and friends.It only lacks a little souvenir stall and toilets for visitors ... or I just couldn't find both.

We went in on Sunday afternoon and heard the choir rehearsing with the pipe organ for a concert that evening. We were unable to return for the concert, but it is on our wish list for "next time." Organ and choir nusic enhances the tour 100%!

Just very impresssive. The whole cathedral is built in the same style which makes it a truly amazing site. Take some time to admire the main entrance and the stained glass windows. We did not find the smiling angel though.
