Paris

Reims, France 6. April 1917; Reims was being besieged by German forces within thirty-five days of the start of the war, and for much of the conflict it remained within artillery range. The long years of shelling devastated a place of great historical importance: traditionally, French kings were crowned in the city´s magnificent Gothic cathedral.
