Completed in 1641, the Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis church was in serious need of some restoration work. When we visited in January 2012, the front facade was covered. What a nice surprise to see the work completed when we passed last month. The stonework has been cleaned and now you can really see the marvelous details. Of course the new choice of rouge for the doors pleased me very much indeed!

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.

What a lovely picture, of a lovely church.
Thought of you twice today, NOW that I read that this marvellous church is renovated as I also only had photos of last year's covered up fassade.... AND walking to the restaurant we had lunch today at Metro Invalides the first thing we spotted upon coming out was the NUTELLA CREPE STAND.... :)
Had a wonderful meal and a lovely walk - sunny Sunday greetings and good night to you, Kiki
I look forward to your church photograph and comment each Sunday. Would you consider taking photographs of the inside, as well as the outside, of the churches (or do many Parisian churches forbid that)? Leslie in Portland, Oregon
Leslie,
I'm so glad you enjoy my Church Series. I often post photos from the inside of Parisian churches. They do allow it but I try and be respectful and not intrude on any services etc. I will try and remember to feature an interior shot next time. Thank you for commenting and visiting my blog.

When I was there in 2011, I stayed in the Marais and passed by this church many times and hoped that it would get a good cleaning sometime soon—SO nice to see it looking like this!
Hi V ... it is wonderful to see such important architecture being maintained for all to see. I hope it is never lost. Ciao J.
The red door is very beautiful!
