At first glance the front of the Notre Dames of Paris, Amiens, and Reims (among several others) look much the same, but they are interestingly different. These three cathedrals each have three portals, a rose (round) window, a row of statues, a row of thin columns topped with arches, all topped by two towers without tall pointy steeples. However, while the portals are all on the ground level and the towers are high above everything, the sequence or level of the other features are different in each.

As an added uniqueness, in addition to the large rose window high on the west front of Notre Dame at Reims, a smaller rose window sits just above the center portal.
