Reims, City of Coronations, 1429

This is Reims at the climax of a long royal ritual life: a midsummer city emptied and thronged at once for the Sacre of Charles VII, the Holy Ampulla brought from Saint-Remi, and the Maid's banner on the parvis. The walk shows the cathedral's west front and parvis, the Palace of Tau and Abbey of Saint-Remi, and the cloth halls, quays and timbered lanes where the town's wool and dyeing trades gather.

23 scenes, 16 streets, squares and views, 7 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Reims as it stood in 1429 (“Coronation of the French monarch”).
