Reims is much more quiet and relaxed than Paris. It's slow and warm, explains the tradition value of European small towns. I guess Paris is also like this 400 years ago. Of course, except the carousel.
Porte de Mars, means "The Gate of Mars". Reims is the city of the king, and the king shows off his power by his military.
The statue of Louis XV stands in the heart of Reims, on the Palace de Royal (Royal Plaza).
The Cathedral of Reims. Unbelievably, the engraving on both the interior and the wall are even more elegant than Notre Dame. It has breathtakingly grace.
It's sunday, so there is a Mass. I joined and it's really shocking. It was not my first time to join a Christian activity, but in such a cathedral on such a day, this experience is unforgettably amazing and joyful.
Reims do not only have the cathedral, Palais de Tau (Tau Palace) is also a place to go. Every king who came to Reims to get crowned stay at here.
Now the Palais de Tau is not belong to royal family anymore. Today's palais combines the traditional arts with modern art.
Reims produces great champagne.
I believe these two portraits explain the French women best: they can as independent as tough as the heroine Jeanne d'Arc, and also can be as soft as the statue below. I appreciate them, because they do have their own mode, they lead world's fashion while they do not recognize themselves.
