Guided tour of Reims Cathedral
Listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site, 13th century Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral is one of Europe's most important Gothic structures. It is considered to be a masterpiece of Architecture and one of the most impressive Cathedrals of Northern France.
It is here that King Clovis was baptized around year 498 giving birth to the Kingdom of the Franks and starting a long lasting tradition: except two, all of the Kings of France have been crowned here! The most famous King to have been crowned here on July 17th 1429 is without a doubt Charles VII who was accompanied by Joan of Arc. The last King that was crowned in Reims was Charles X on May 29th 1825.
