Today was such a glorious day again, I decided to shoot some video of Reims. The new Tramway is now operational, and transporting people around this historic city, easily and smoothly. The cathedral looks fantastic having just been cleaned (well some of it, at least) and so I wanted to showcase the city here.
Reims is the only place in the world to have three UNESCO World Heritage sites, the magnificent gothic cathedral, the Palais du Tau and the Basilique St. Remi.
The cathedral was first constructed in 1097 and was used to crown the Kings of France, before they did away with all that during the French Revolution!
It was originally a Roman town, and when they began excavations for the tramway, the work was considerably delayed due to archeologists having to be informed whenever an artefact was discovered, and there were many!
If you’ve been to Reims in the last few years, you’ll know how disruptive the works were, but now it’s all done, I hope you’ll agree that it was worth it. The city looks lovely now and well worth a visit.
I hope you enjoy these videos. Please do leave a comment and let me know what you think of Reims.
