TEC4569358: The Cathedrale Notre Dame de Reims (Marne, Champagne Ardennes region) has several titles among the places of memory in France. Built on the traditional place of the baptism of Clovis (466-511), it was the seat of the royal sacres; its bombing in 1917, leaving its vaults, made it a symbol of the horrors of the First World War. The verticality of the interior elevation and the perfection of the counterbutting make the largest of the French cathedrals, batie from 1211 to 1275, a perfect expression of classical Gothic. The rich sculpted decor is characterized by the famous smile of Reims and the antique style of some statues. Its treasor, one of the largest and richest in France, is preserved at the Palais du Tau. / Bridgeman Images
