All over France, historic churches and chateaus offer “sound-and-light shows.” Most are pretty sleepy and feel like entertainment from a different — and more boring — age. But the sound-and-light show projected on the magnificent west facade of the cathedral at Reims is worth losing a little sleep over (this time of year, it doesn’t get really dark at this latitude until nearly 23:00).

WOW!!!
Were medieval masons really so scantly clad?! I know it was a grueling, sweaty job, but Reims is up north in France, and the weather must be cold most of the year. I wonder what the cathedral builders would have thought at seeing the giant spectres of naked, muscular young men dancing on the façade of their dear cathedral; most probably “Quel sacrilège!”. Even oh-so-modern-me feel uneasy about it.
