Take a tour of Reims Cathedral in France – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. It stands tall among the buildings of Reims as the city's greatest structure. The Reims Cathedral is a momentous church which might be intimidating if it wasn't so beautiful. It was built from 1211-1311 on the site of a 5th-century cathedral. This amazing church is built in the Gothic style and is ornately and minutely decorated. The cathedral was heavily damaged in WWI, but has been restored to its former glory. The inside is hardly less awe-inspiring and features soaring arches and dazzling rose windows. The Reims Cathedral is especially remarkable as the scene of coronation for the French monarchy.
