Notre-Dame De Reims By Gérard Rondeau.

Rondeau travels in a world of black and white; he follows endless paths, plays with words, shadows and silences, assembles stories and depicts worlds of suffering. The author of numerous works on such subjects as Benin, the cathedrals of France, the capitals of the Baltic countries, and the Tour de France, Rondeau is a photographer of rare and singular gifts. His books and exhibitions resemble personal diaries or novels.
Notre-Dame de Reims
Notre-Dame de Reims (Our Lady of Rheims) is the Roman Catholic cathedral of Reims, where the kings of France were once crowned. It replaces an older church, destroyed by a fire in 1211, which was built on the site of the basilica where Clovis was baptized by Saint Remi, bishop of Reims, in AD 496. That original structure had been erected on the site of the Roman baths. As the cathedral it remains the seat of the Archdiocese of Reims.
