Grand Est: Alsace, Lorraine, Champagne, Bourgogne, and a little Paris: Reims

Reims (pronounced almost like 'rance') is a city in northeastern France's Grand Est region. It's the unofficial capital of the Champagne wine-growing region, and many of the well-known champagne houses are headquartered here. For more than 1,000 years, French kings were crowned at its Cathédrale Notre-Dame.

Famed artist Marc Chagall created these 3 windows in six years, beginning in 1968.

And 3 windows at Reims Cathedral by German artist Imi Knoebel, dedicated in 2015, to replace windows damaged in WWII. I was reading up on him and he does lots of works using his favorite primary colors, red, yellow and blue. Can you tell?

Ooooh I need the colors of the last stained glass windows printed on a skirt or a dress exactly as is. It seems like I've seen something very close, but I can't remember whether or not I liked the wallet at the time.
