RE: The History and Architecture of Reims Cathedral

in Worldmappin3 years ago

So is it Raunce as in raun-chy but ending with s instead of chy?

And are you trying to confuse us all, why is this also called Notre Dame? From memory, it looks like the Notre Dame in Paris as well. So confusing!!!!!

Great cathedral nevertheless!!

Sort:  

Yes exactly, except there is nothing raunchy about the city. It is very lovely haha. But yes that is how you pronounce it as I understand.

why is this also called Notre Dame? From memory, it looks like the Notre Dame in Paris as well. So confusing!!!!!

Okay yes this is confusing. It confused me when I got here as well. Basically every large city in France (or so it seems) has a cathedral and most are dedicated to "Our Lady" = Notre Dame and most have the same architectural layout as well. So they basically all look the same with only subtle differences and they are all called the same thing. Reims is particularly impressive though but it looks very much like the one in Paris. It becomes a bit repetitive after a while and I stopped taking pictures of them but Here are some examples that I've seen. You'll notice just subtle differences in size, color and design.

LOL. I think you should continue taking photos of all the dear ladies around France, that would make a nice collection!!!

I will keep that in mind.

I actually wanted to ask you something about pinmapple. A few years ago now - before I knew about pinmapple, I made a bunch of post about places that I have been to. I would like to add them to my map so I'm wondering if I can add them by editing the posts with a pinmapple link or if I should make a new post about them. What would you recommend?
