Looks like we go to the same areas as you do in Paris: we visit the camera stores on Beaumarchais nearly every time just so my husband can look in Leica store--and we always end up on Rue St. Antoine and St Paul-St Louis! You should visit St Eugene-Ste Cecile in the 9th: beautiful light after the 11 a.m. Mass since the church is on a north-south axis!
Beautiful picture - I also love that church & have lit many candles there. Stephanie, thanks for the suggestion of a church I haven't visited - will sdo so next time.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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.

It's a sweet church, no doubt. I hope that you lit a candle, too. Never hurts!!

Simply inspiring and beautiful.
What a dramatic scene! Did you photograph this during mass?
