The Gothic architecture, originally named Opus Francigenum meaning “French work”, was born in Île-de-France. Northern France is the home of some of the most important Gothic cathedrals and basilicas, the first of these being the Saint Denis Basilica, other important French Gothic cathedrals are Notre-Dame de Chartres and Notre-Dame dAmiens. The kings were crowned in another important Gothic church: Notre-Dame de Reims.
