We had already planned a trip for Spring break, but after finding out it would probably be our last, we added a couple extra stops. When we arrived home a week later, we had logged 2400 km, been through 4 countries and stayed in 4 different hotels.
Our first stop was Reims, France. This amazing cathedral greeted us upon our arrival.
Unfortunately, due to a tunnel fire that parked us on the freeway for an hour, we didn't pull in until 11pm...long past our kids' bedtime.
The next morning we headed out in the rain to get a better look.
The cathedral in Reims was the place for the coronation of 25 French kings and queens.Construction began in 1211 and after WWI it was so severely damaged that it was completely rebuilt.
The stained glass in this window was removed during WWI in order to save it from destruction
It was really beautiful inside and out but I think Pete and I were the only ones who could appreciate it. The kids were more interested in heading to McDonald's for breakfast.Side note: they don't serve breakfast at McDonald's in Switzerland...it was delicious!
