Reims (France)

Reims (English traditionally Rheims) is a city of north-eastern France, 98 miles east-northeast of Paris. The city is is well known for its cathedral, where the kings of France used to be crowned. Notre-Dame de Reims was completed by the end of the 13th century, with the exception of the west front. That portion was erected in the 14th century after 13th century designs- the nave having in the meantime been lengthened to afford room for the crowds that attended the coronations.
