Reims Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Reims, is a historic masterpiece located in Reims, France. This magnificent structure stands proudly with its stunning west facade that leaves visitors in awe. The interior is equally breathtaking, captivating all who enter. Our Lady of Reims has witnessed countless significant events throughout history, including Saint Louis's Funeral in Paris in 1270 and the Arrival of Charles V in 1364 to be crowned king within its sacred walls. Jean Froissart's manuscript depicts these momentous occasions on vellum pages, showcasing the grandeur and importance they held. The Coronation of French King Charles V on May 19, 1364, immortalized through an engraving from 1470-75 further emphasizes the cathedral's historical significance. Engravings such as "Cathedrale de Reims" and "Coronation of Louis XVI at Reims Cathedral" depict key moments when kings were crowned within this holy sanctuary. These images serve as testaments to the power and prestige associated with being crowned King of France at Notre-Dame de Reims. The Coronation ceremonies were not limited to just kings; queens too had their share of glory within these hallowed halls. Engravings like "Coronation of the French king Charles V and his Queen" and "Couronnement de Charles V a Reims" showcase how both monarchs were celebrated during their coronations. Revealing intricate details from every angle, engravings such as "Reims Cathedral West Front" provide a glimpse into the architectural marvel that continues to inspire generations even today. With its rich history dating back centuries ago, it is no wonder that Reims Cathedral remains an iconic symbol not only for France but for all those who appreciate beauty intertwined with heritage.
