A 13th-century Gothic masterpiece and UNESCO site, Reims Cathedral hosted the coronations of 31 French kings, from Louis VIII to Charles X. Built from 1211 on a Carolingian basilica’s ruins, it dazzles with a façade of 2,303 statues, including the Smiling Angel. Chagall’s stained-glass windows light its 1,500 m² interior. Bombed in 1914, brilliantly restored, it embodies resilience and sacred art. Height: 81 m. A must-see in Champagne!
