Reims Cathedral (Notre-Dame de Reims)
The cathedral replaced an older church, destroyed by fire in 1211, that was built on the site of the basilica where Clovis I was baptized. The cathedral was built in the high gothic style.

There are also 2 300 statues which also contribute to the beauty of the cathedral: statue-columns, arches (cut stone), decorative figures, tabernacles, indoor and outdoor figures and the famous "The Smiling Angel"
Is a stone sculpture of the cathedral of Reims which was carved between 1236 and 1245. This figure is in the north portal of the west facade of the cathedral.Ange-au-sourire-reims.png
On the occasion of the Holiday season, the façade of Reims cathedral is magically enhanced by a visual and audio scenography: the Rêve de Couleurs light show
