To a Bright New Year 2022!

How appropriate to see in the New Year - bright skies! Set against a backcloth ranging between azur and rich royal blue, some of the historical sites around the cité des Sacres came into their own. The imposing Porte de Paris that was created in 1776 for the coronation of Louis XVI was literally glinting in the sunlight.

Meanwhile, Jeanne d'Arc stood proudly in front of the cathedral, sword brandished to serve King and country... And finally Notre-Dame de Reims itself, resplendent in the afternoon light. What a perfect end to the year!
