To return to our small Paris tour from last time,
we walked from the lovely Notre Dame de Paris,
seen here in the setting sun,
across the bridge
past the brasseries
Built between 1664 and 1726,
and according to the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau,
built according to plans by Le Vau, the royal architect of Versaille.
While I'm not a Catholic
I DO love those Catholic churches
for their graceful beauty, their architecture,
moving paintings
and stained glass windows
filled with stunning color and detailed story.
for their quiet places
their history
colors
and reverence
their painted arches
and hiding shadows
their amazing shots
and because I always learn something.
What about you?
Anything you especially love about churches?
Next time we'll do a little more walking
along the island.
