Moments like this, especially when experienced live, deeply echo in my old European heart and soul. Greetings from Belgium.
In the Middle Ages, cathedrals were completely painted in all colours, both outside and inside. There are a lot of light shows like this on other cathedrals in France and they are inspired by all these colors
I'm a French guy and I discovered your channel not long ago. But what a coincidence: I also live in Reims, where the show happens, and I see it every year. Firstly, yeah, the show happens every year, on December, a few weeks before Christmas. It happens a few evenings for the Christmas market wich is a few streets away from. Secondly, yes, the show is made with projectors wich project a video on the cathedral. Finally, this show has a meaning: I don't know how to describe it, but it's like a short story about the cathedral's story (hence the royalty symbols).
I bet it's amazing in person
@@BonjourCharlie of course it is, even though it's the same show every year.
@@tyranosaure0880 Je voudrais bien voir ca, moi qui ai ete baptise a la Cathedrale d'Amiens
merci pour l'info, j'habite à une trentaine de kms, faut que j'aille voir ça le prochain Décembre :) (Reims est devenue trop chiante pour la circulation, dommage)
Not all the kings of france but the most. One of the mission of St jeanne d’arc was to bring the dolphin of France " futur king" to the cathedral of Reims to be sacred. For example, charlemagne, one of the most famous King of France was sacred in the cathedral of noyon. Just 1 kilomètres from my house.
It's not "just light", it's video projection... a video tailored to perfectly fit the architectural details of the cathedral.
Btw, Reims is prononced /ʁɛ̃s/ (R + nasal vowel "in" + S). There is no word in english I can use that includes the french "in/ein/eim" sound to explain you how it sounds, but you can use Google Translate to listen it in French.
Yes it is called "Spectacles Sons et Lumières" (Sounds and Lights shows). They usually do it at night in summer & in winter in french historic places like in Nancy, Metz, Paris, Reims, Carcassonnes, etc... on cathedrals, castles, basilicas, bridges, operas, monuments, etc...
It is more & more appreciated by the french who like special effects. And they improve each year technically & artistically.
Now they also do some Festivals "Sounds and Lights" on topics like the Impressionist painters like Claude Monnet.
They did sounds & lights exhibitions on Vincent Van Gogh & Picasso paintings.
Of course, not to forget fireworks + sounds & lights on 14th July (National Day) and New Year Eve at Champs Elysées, Arc de Triomphe and Tour Effel.
Apparently the best Sound & Lights show is made by the Puy du Fou amusement park at night. It is called Cinéscénie. You need to reserve your tickets at least a month before.
Magique, sublime, épique , grand héritage historique et architectural de notre beau pays et la musique est...grandiose!!! ❤❤✨️🇫🇷 Je suis époustouflée ! Merci pour ce magnifique Hommage !
It begins with the dove of the Holy Spirit which, according to legend, brought the ampoule filled with chrism used to anoint King Clovis for his baptism and which was subsequently used for the holy anointing of the kings of the Franks and the kings of France during their coronation.
Reims is the cathedrale of most of king of France wrere crowned. Your question about the hand with 2 finger up is a in fact a symbole of royality. King of france have a stick with this hand with 2 finger up on it when he rendered his judgment during certain situations.
C'c'est magnifique ❤
The cathedrals were painted at the time... Today there is nothing other than stone. For me the one in Reims is the most beautiful.
Moment Factory is a french canadian company in Montrel Quebec and craetes light show all over the world
I'd never seen this. Thanks.
The kings of France were traditionaly crowned at Reims cathedral, capital of Champagne region, and buried at St-Denis basilic, north of Paris, were you can visit the tumbs of all the kings of France with all the kings represented in statue, dead or alive!
Bonjour, la projection de lumières et de couleurs est faite grâce à une série de reproductions virtuelles avec des scans. Ils reproduisent la façade en 3 D pour capter les reliefs, puis par la suite ils donnent vie à un scénario, ce que tu vois défiler pendant tout le spectacle. C'est un an de préparation juste pour se caler par rapport à la façade (distance, hauteur, largeur). Dans certains mappings, ce sont plusieurs centaines de tableaux différents qui retracent l'histoire d'une ville.
Hello, the projection of lights and colors is made through a series of virtual reproductions with scans. They reproduce the facade in 3 D to capture the reliefs, then they give life to a scenario, which you see during the whole show. It is a year of preparation just to fit the facade (distance, height, width). In some maps, several hundred different tables trace the history of a city.
C est magnifique ❤
In early 2010's I see the light show for Strasbourg Cathedral. I don't know if you can find it on RUclips, but it was beautiful.
It's created on a computer and then projected onto the building remotely with remarkable precision.
"drones and explosions" ahahah, you really need to see everything explode all the time ahah :)
Yeah ... so American ... :o(
Reims cathedral is the place where French kings were crowned since Kingship was considered a sacrement.
Plus, the kings of France became catholic from Clovis (considered as the first official king of the reunified Gauls) until the last one Louis the 18th.
Hence, the Reims ceremony, placing the new monarch under the protection of God and by extension, the mandate (and protection) of the Vatican.
Every kings of France used to have for Father in God the Pope of the time. Or, if the pope couldn’t be there, an emissary of the church. Louis the 14th for example was falsely considered as the “Godson” of the Cardinal Julio Mazzarini (Jules Mazarin in French) when he was just a representative of the Vatican.
You were thinking about "Hells Bells" but as a French guy (and even if I also thought about the AC/DC song) it reminded me "Champagne" a French song by Jacques Higelin due to the gothic cathedral and the fact it's in Reims, the capital city of the Champagne region.
Regalia are all symbolic objets need for a king coronation or emperor, in France for a king before the Revolution :
- Dagobert's throne ;
- The hand of Justice ;
- The spurs of the coronation ;
- The sceptre of Charles V ;
- The Sword of Charlemagne named "Joyeuse" (The bringer of Joylity) ;
- The Holy Ampulla ;
- The Charlemagne's Crown ;
- The Saint Louis Holy Crown ;
- The blue Mantle of France ;
ETC
created by Moments factory a company from Montreal,Quebec,they created about 550 lights shows around the world.
Disney Castle is directly inspired by Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany; if you find a documentary about it, you will immediately see similarities.
Oh OK thanks
No it's inspired by Mont Saint michel and carcassonne castle in france, Walt disney was inspired by france when he went to france in world war one as a volunteered to be a Red Cross ambulance. And his ancestors family was originally from Isigny-sur-Mer in Normandy France.
Plus it's well known that Neuschwanstein was inspired by french castles like Château de Pierrefonds etc. Neuschwanstein is very recent from late 19th century people don't consider it as a real castle.
@@MrRonantho I think @glambertini4709 is right. At least this is what Wikipedia says. And you can definitely see the similarities between the two castle. The Saint Michel Mont is not a castle by the way.
@@MrRonantho I'm as chauvinistic as anyone but the truth matters more to me: do your researchs, you'll have your answers: Disney's main inspiration for his castle is Neuschwanstein Castle. Is it the only one ? Of course not.^^
Regalia is the symbols of kingship. The sword of Charlemagne, the hand of justice, the chalice of christianity, and the crown.
Reims cathedral was heavily damaged by bombardments during WW1, it has to be extensively rebuilt. The roof structure is entirely metallic, following the restoration of Chartres cathedral during the 19th Century which suffered pretty much the same fate as Notre Dame in 2019. Chartres roof was rebuilt with iron trusses and a COPPER covering, it was before restoration of historical buildings like Notre Dame in the 1850s. As for Reims roof, that method was used because it was much faster and cheaper after a war to do that instead of waiting potentially decades of priority budget been allowed to a more traditionnal restoration. Reims cathedral has one of the most beautiful facades of all of the French cathedrals.
The language is "Church Latin" (imagine ancient Latin but with a more Italian accent)
I guess the lights is just an image projected onto the facade, it just has to be perfectly aligned with the monument's features.
The Regalia is also the name of the objects symbolizing a King's power, a sceptre (with the fingers), a Holy Oil ball (or chalice, depending on circumstances) recepient and a Crown, it usually goes that way in Christian Regalia... The term comes from Latin meaning "To Rule".
The Sword looks like Charlemagne's legendary sword, named "Joyeuse" (Joyful, feminine version)
Petite précision, les charpentes reconstruites après les bombardements sont en béton armé. On peut les visiter (visite guidée payante incluant la charpente et les toits) c'est pour ça que je le sais 😊
Si vous passez en région Champagne 🍾, et que vous allez voir la cathédrale de Reims, petite astuce il existe une super visite guidée payante qui permet d'aller.. sur les toits ! Un autre point de vue, super intéressant, je vous conseille ❤
La belle ville de Reims.
I love your channel.
Sorry but that's a change from all the Americans who don't know anything about anything and scream like crazy in their videos. You show the true face of the USA as we no longer find too much and you are interested in everything, it makes you want to do the same for your country. Respect to you man, you would be welcome in France.
J'allais dire la même chose ! Quel plaisir !
Charlie, the word you were looking for the kings of France is "coronation".
Drones would be useless. The idea is to play with the sculpted stone and the way projected light can bring it to life, not to make a disney show.
OK OK good point lol
It's pronounced to rhyme with "rince" with a guttural sound on the r like clearing your throat.
The French genius!!
So for the symbols, I believe they represented the kings that got crowned here, Chalice (religion), swords (conquests & power) and the hand (symbol of the king, maybe as designated by god to exerce his power on the mortals, and maybe as a real regal symbol, like a spectre. Could also represent justice and protection). For the drones I feel like this would be out of place here, we are celebrating history (and we try to do things with light as it's less damaging to nature compared to fireworks). Oh and idk about reims, but I believe in many cities across France they do these shows quite often during the summer times, on churches or big monument. So yes most times there is music, it's a nice surprise when you walk around town in the evening and stumble onto that. Those are public / outside shows so usually free.
Oh also, the lyrics are in Latin, like prayers, nobody speaks latin
I don't know for this one, it really looks good and advanced, so probably a more specific and manned event, but the ones I saw walking by usually were not too crowded and seemed like automated things
Coucou française et j'aime tes vidéos désolées de ne pas t'écrire en anglais
It's laser projection
Good evening Charlie, I see that you are more and more interested in our beautiful country and you become a real ambassador a little more every day.
To thank you for the work you provide, I propose in return to make you discover our beautiful region of Occitanie. You will discover many Cathar castles, the citadel of Carcassonne, medieval cities as you love them, markets where you can taste local products, the Canal du Midi that will take you to the Mediterranean, the little red train that circulates in the green massif of Corbières and especially our relaxed lifestyle since we are retired.
To do this, I propose you to host you and yours in our beautiful village of Trèbes not far from Carcassonne. The house is large, my wife cooks divinely well and we will have the pleasure to serve you as a guide. The minimum is one week free for your reception, just so you and yours can get used to our climate which is hot and dry (average 32°C from April), and all rocked by the song of cicadas. If you prefer to go to the hotel, no problem, the region is very touristic and we are two hours drive from the majestic Pyrenees (3600 ML altitude maximum).
However, I leave the air transport costs at your expense as well as administrative documents and other passport, visa, etc.
Nothing pressing, take your time to think. You can decide when you want.
Looking forward to reading you.
Very nice of you to offer that. Trust me, it will not be anytime soon that I'll be traveling Europe, life isn't easy lol I would love to go through one day
@@BonjourCharlie Charles, tu as 5000 abonnés, dont plein de français ! Fais une cagnotte, on met juste 1 € chacun (ce n'est pas une grosse somme) et tu as ton billet pour voir la France en vrai ! Mais attention, la vraie France des villes et des campagnes hein! Pas juste Paris !
It reminds you of Disney perhaps because of the music.
Est ce que tu as déjà visité ROCAMADOUR ?
Je te conseille, ça vaut le coup.
👍
You should look up the prononciation of the city it’s very different. More like “Rins” but with the French way of saying “in”. Sorry I can’t find a similar English word with that prononciation
It's both funny and sad that you compare this magnificent cathedral to the Disney castle which is just fake. When you see this light show from the bottom of this gigantic and ancient building with all of History in mind, it is something else.
@@mempamal44 bah, il compare à ce qu'il connait. Il n'y a pas de tels bâtiments aux USA et l'Histoire n'est pas la même. Et comme les anciennes cultures ont été exterminées... Il ne reste plus grand chose d'authentique. Si cela peut faire se rendre compte à certains la chance que nous avons d'avoir un tel patrimoine et qu'il est important de le protéger.
@@mempamal44 yes, I know ! Thanks. Merci beaucoup pour ce travail fait en amont. Continuez le bon travail d'équipe. C'est important dans la vie d'être curieux et d'apprendre. :)
Hi great video, you should react to the parade of the French armed forces on July 14th on the occasion of the national holiday it is the most imposing military parade in the world
They use lasers
La Cathédrale de Reims et le lieu du Sacre des Rois de France.
Vive le Roi !
si louis XVI a été décapité en 1793 , c'est parce que le peuple Français mourrait de faim , les récoltes en 1788 ont été catastrophiques , en 1789 , le peuple voulait du pain , pendant ce temps , ton roi et sa clique se goinfrait !
@
Va apprendre l’histoire de France et peut-être qu’ensuite on pourra discuter entre adultes…!
reims is more nice that paris
for the show it is each summer and each year
Thank god we haven't reached a point where AI designs those lightshows yet... Gosh, that's not against you at all but I hate that nowadays every time we see something creative AI is the first source that comes to our minds. If you're wondering, they do use computers a lot to design those shows though, otherwise it would be impossible.
Hey ! Can u please do the "Chant des partisans"
et puis avant "le chant des partisans" il y a déjà "le chant du Départ", le petit frère de La Marseillaise.
Et tant qu'à faire autant le demander poliment en anglais :
Hi, please, could you talk about the partisans song (le chant des partisans), Thanks
"Can u" cela va encore, si vous avez pris une balle en faisant du rap.
Je vous conseille vivement celle là 😄 ruclips.net/video/TuTQN7wV_BI/видео.html
bonjour Charlie comment vas-tu mon bel homme 🍓
check out Moment factory Montreal and learn
You may not realize it, but the adoration for your US presidents and candidates is unparalleled in Europe, whether kings or VIPs!

Typical American source of their knowlege on culture: Disney!!!!!
Reims was the place of "sacred coronation" of the Kings of France.
The bird is a dove which is the symbolic representation of God
The blue light descending symbolizes the descent of the Holy Spirit on the cathedral, and on the Crown that will fall on the chosen One to be the King
Sward and Hand of Justice that are the privileges of the King who is designated by God
The Cathedral is a spiritual energy vortex
The King of France is sacred as he's the lefttenant of God in France.
As Germans say "Happy as God in France", of course, that was before the satanist revolution and republic still in place
Vive le Roi !
Why do you say "Reems"? Try "Rhymes". With the N. European "r". That would be a lot closer.
Shut up😢 while the show!

le titre "Regalia" est un mot latin qui fait référence aux insignes de la royauté, notamment en France, cf fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regalia :)
Frightful to see ignorance in action! I understand that comprehending the situation requires intelligence.
