This attraction does not need advertising. The cathedral is very beautiful, there are many unique stained-glass windows that look very cool in sunny weather. Pay attention to the stained-glass windows of champagne - the whole process of making this wonderful drink is presented: it is located above the southern entrance. And don't miss the Chagall stained glass windows behind the altar. All the coronations of French kings until the 19th century were held in this Cathedral, except for Napoleon. The cathedral is rich in magnificent sculptures, there are a lot of them, but the most memorable is the Smiling Angel, or as it is called the Reims Smile. There is another unique feature that not everyone pays attention to. On the facade there is a core stuck during the bombardment, which they decided not to remove so as not to disturb the sculptural composition (see photo).
