The photo of the smiling angel is lovely and quite funny.. don’t you think the statue, next to the angel, looks like he is rolling his eyes at the joyful exuberance of the angel? Enjoyed reading your post on Reims.
I think almost the only thing I knew about Reims was the pronunciation (not sure where I had picked that up) and that there was a cathedral, but I hadn’t realised such an important one – or that Remus had his own city. It definitely looks like somewhere that’s worth a day trip (or more, I fancy the champagne too). Thanks for linking up with #citytripping
Ooh pretty! I am such a francophile and despite significant training in French (to A level equivalent), still get the pronunciation wrong. I want to go there for the champagne. Maybe without the kids!
Thanks for the pronunciation clarification…I have been saying it wrong for years. Reims is a great city – obviously the champagne is a biggie but the cathedral is stunning althoughI didn’t realise quite how important its place in history was. I think we may have to return soon!!

I love reading about such interesting history! Such a shame that Reims didn’t get all the attention unlike Rome. #CityTripping
