Did You Know?
Thirty-three French kings were crowned in Reims cathedral between 1027 and 1825. The building was shelled repeatedly in the First World War, losing most of its glass and much of its structure, and took two decades to restore.
The clock: Reims keeps UTC+1 in the heart of Champagne, where the chalk cellars beneath the city run for tens of kilometres and hold millions of bottles.
