Arguably the oldest, or one of the oldest churches in Paris. Located in the 6th arrondissment, a church you should visit.

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'm enjoying the series! Wonderful angle in this picture!

This photo reminds me of last November when I met Genie of "Paris and Beyond" and we visited this church.
I've made a note Virginia, it's getting rather long haha!
caught part of a beautiful service in Spanish here then was forced to have a chocolate eclair at Deux Magots
We have this one on our list, but the list is quite long! Love the angle of this photo -- the dark sky makes for a dramatic mood.
I thought about Vreni also as we snapped photos here and about Marie as we walked past this church at least twice daily to/from our hotel on another visit. I like the dark-sky contrast here.
Dear Virginia,
This church is breathtaking! Thank you so much for your beautiful tours through Paris,
fondly,
Penny
Thanks for this one, V! I've always loved this old church.
Lovely!
I am hoping to stay near St. Germain area. So much history, but then again every street has such history it is hard to choose where to stay when I go next year!

I like the angle, Virginia. It aims the building right up to heaven. Kinda like you intended.
Nice capture, V. I find the church very striking up against the blue sky.
