Over the summer, I visited an amazing number of churches and cathedrals all over France. Today two very different ones. The top is Église Saint Eustache in Paris near Les Halles. The bottom is simply Église Bray sur Seine. One very ornate, the other a simple village church. Both beautiful places of worship.

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

I visited so many of them in Paris that the interiors have all run together in my memory.. This trip I will take notes and pay more attention. They are so awe inspiring to see.
Ha, my word verification is falic.
They must have done some major renovation at Saint-Eustache. It wasn't that ornate the only time I visited many years ago.
beautiful....Barb
I like the juxtaposition of these two church styles. Beautiful runner in the bottom photo. My friend's apartment where I stay in Paris is right near St. Eustache, so I walk by that church all the time. I'll have to search out Bray Sur Seine though, as I like the simple style too.
Katie,
You'll have to head to the French countryside to the little town of Bray sur Seine to see their lovely church.
Well, I'm back! Have gone through all your nice Paris posts I missed during my absence! You really know how to capture the atmosphere! Sorry for the lacking flight space and long lasting home trip, but obviously you have recovered well!
The 1st shot is SO powerful! Just great!
