Reims Cathedral’s stained glass is phenomenal for two reasons: 1) beautiful and 2) they replace damaged glass with pieces that reflect the style of the time.
The old and the contemporary glass are situated side by side.
It’s an active church.
A most French kings were coronated at the Reims Cathedral. Jean d’Arc accompanied Charles the VII here.
Marc Chagall designed these windows.
Imi Knoebel designed these.
Another super hot day had a steady stream of tourists visiting the cool cathedral.
Next door is the Palais du Tau museum, with various items from the ancient French regency.

Charlemagne wore this … 1200 years ago.
One last view of the cathedral before we head back to Paris.
Back in Paris we stayed at the Citizen M Hotel which had weird tiny rooms like a cruise ship and large common areas on the second floor for the intent of having everyone socialize.
This French Fashion Institute Knit Workshop was across the way from the hotel but it wasn’t open when we went by. It looked really cool inside.
Nice street art near the fashion institute finished out our long travel day.
Next two days we were back touring Paris before the US v France game on the 28th.
