Additional Description: Français:
L'ascension dans les tours de la cathédral de Reims permet une découverte insolite d'un chef-d'œuvre de l'architecture gothique, de sa statuaire haute (1) et de sa charpente du XXe siècle (2). Dominant la ville des sacres, le circuite de visite chemine tout au long de la toiture, aux ornements récemment redorés.

English:
Climbing up inside the towers of Reims cathedral is a unique way of discovering a masterpiece of gothic architecture, with its high statuary (1) and its 20th century roof structure (2). Towering over the coronation city, the tour path winds along the roof, with its recently renovated gold ornaments.
