March: Reims, France


Since we were now home for Easter break, we took a day trip to the champagne city of France:  Reims, France.  (pronounced like rince....see this is why French is so difficult!!)


Beautiful sunny day


lovely old doors


Checking out Reims


quick stop for some "petit dejeuner"


French trees



Yum, yum!


This building even has a small turret.


Notre Dame de Reims Cathedral


Notre Dame de Reims Cathedral


Gorgeous statue decor


flying buttresses


Looks like part of an old city wall


Gorgeous!!  
(part of the Cathedral was covered in scaffolding for renovation)


Saint Louis


Elegant interior


model of the Notre Dame de Reims




beautiful, biblical stained glass created by artist: Marc Chagall



Ironically, Aidan was working on an artist report for his language arts class & Marc Chagall was the artist he was studying.  



more turrets


Cathedral under renovation....reminds me of Notre Dame in Paris


Champagne cork stools at the Tourist Info Office
