Reims
Reims (; also spelt Rheims; ), a city in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France, lies east-northeast of Paris. The 2008 census recorded 188,078 inhabitants (''Rémoises'' (feminine) and ''Rémois'' (masculine)) in the city of Reims proper (the ''commune''), and 291,735 inhabitants in the metropolitan area (''aire urbaine'').
Founded by the Gauls, it became a major city during the period of the Roman Empire.〔"Reims," entry in ''Nouveau petit Larousse'', 1971, p. 1638.〕 Reims played a prominent ceremonial role in French monarchical history as the traditional site of the crowning of the kings of France. The Cathedral of Reims (damaged by the Germans during the First World War but restored since) housed the Holy Ampulla (''Sainte Ampoule'') containing the ''Saint Chrême'' (chrism), allegedly brought by a white dove (the Holy Spirit) at the baptism of Clovis in 496. It was used for the anointing, the most important part of the coronation of French kings.
==Administration==
Reims functions as a subprefecture of the department of Marne, in the administrative region of Champagne-Ardenne. Although Reims is by far the largest commune in both its region and department, Châlons-en-Champagne is the capital and prefecture of both.
