An exceptional panorama, unique architecture

The façade is divided vertically into three portals, the largest of which is in the center. The two lateral sections are topped by symmetrical towers.

From top to bottom, the facade is divided into four levels: the portals, the clear upper storey at the level of the nave's flying buttresses, the upper gallery or galerie des rois, and finally the belfries housing the bells.

Have you noticed? The facade of Reims Cathedral is distinguished by the absence of spires on the towers and by its portals with projecting doors and spandrels .   The openwork design allows statues to be placed on the gable.   above them.

The sculptures on each portal correspond to a precise iconographic program: the one on the left represents the Passion of Christ, the one on the right the Apocalypse and the Last Judgment, and finally, in the center, the life and glorification of the Virgin Mary.
