France: Reims Cathedral

Notre Dame de Reims is perhaps the most historically important cathedral in France since most of the French kings were crowned. The cathedral was established in 1211 and is a grand gothic structure with loads of sculptures and gargoyles (in fact, only the Charters Cathedral has more sculptures). Cathedral was occupied and damaged by the British during the 100-year war and was liberated by Joan de Arc. It was nearly completely destroyed in WWI. It is one of the first and most important UNESCO World Heritage Sites in France.
