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.

Open Cluster of Pleiades - The Pleiades star cluster - The Pleiades cluster is a cluster of about 500 young stars nees 150 million years ago. Visible in the constellation Taurus, this cluster is 440 years from the Earth. The Pleiades are one of the finest and nearest examples of a reflection nebula associated with a cluster of young stars. The cluster itself is a group of many hundreds of stars about 400 light years from Earth in the northern constellation of Taurus and has been recognised since ancient times. Seven of the brightest stars are quite easy to see with the unaided eye and bear the names of the Seven Sisters, the daughters of Atlas. The nebulosity seen here is light reflected from the particles in a cloud of cold gas and dust into which the cluster has drifted. It appears blue because these tiny interstellar particles scatter blue light more efficiently than the longer wavelengths of red light and it is streaky because of the distribution of dust particles in space
