Douaumont Ossuary
A long stone memorial on the Verdun battlefield holding the remains of unidentified soldiers who fell in the Battle of Verdun, French and German alike. Its central tower looks over the national cemetery of Fleury-devant-Douaumont, where thousands of white crosses run down the slope.
-
Place Stanislas
A pedestrian square laid out between 1752 and 1756 for Stanislaus, the former King of Poland who became Duke of Lorraine. Pale stone palaces line its sides and gilded wrought iron gates and fountains fill its corners, an early example of a fully planned monumental square.
-
Reims Cathedral
The Gothic cathedral where the kings of France were crowned for centuries, its west front crowded with carved figures, among them the Smiling Angel. Joan of Arc brought Charles VII here for his coronation in 1429.
-
Strasbourg Cathedral
A pink sandstone cathedral begun in 1015 and finished in 1439, which was the tallest building in the world for over two centuries. Only one of its two planned spires was built, giving the west front its lopsided look, and inside stands a famous astronomical clock.
