Église Saint-Paul-Saint Louis, consecrated in 1641 is one of my favorite smaller churches in Paris. Located in the Marais on rue Saint Antoine, it's not as grand as some, but I love it. Take the side door on the left and you will find a charming little alley.

The Église Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis  ( 1621) in the Marais. I"ve lost count on how many times I've walked into this sweet church. It's not the largest or the grandest church in Paris, but well worth a visit.

Notre Dame de Paris, always a beautiful experience.

Sunday Church Series - Remembering

On Monday, following the terrorist attacks on Friday evening, I slipped into the majestic Église de la Madeleine. There was a noon mass in process. Candles were lit all around the church. I suspect there were more than usual.

I try and always stop in this pretty church on rue St. Antoine, when I'm in the Marais. I love the contrast of the warm candle light against the cool gray figure.

Église Saint Germain-des-Prés is one, if not the oldest church in Paris. I  always try and stop in when I'm in Paris. Certainly not the grandest, but the patina of age makes it even more beautiful to me.

Sunday Church Series - Église Saint-Julien-le Pauvre

This Gothic church built in the 13th century began as a Roman Catholic church but was granted to the Eastern Catholic Melkite community in 1889.  Just across the Seine from Notre Dame de Paris, it shares the block with the lovely Square René Viviani.  This simple church, by Paris standards, would be a a nice addition to your tour of the larger chrurches and cathedrals in the city.

My fascination with the candles and chairs in Parisian churches continues.

Église Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois

If you are visiting the Louvre, cross the street and visit this magnificent church. The chimes from the bell tower are worth a little wait.

Prayers and Candles

My dear friend Steve in Paris left me a message on Facebook saying on his way home from work, he planned to stop at Notre Dame and light a candle for those whose lives have been devastated by the recent tornadoes here in Alabama. I was touched by this. I couldn't find a photo from Notre Dame, but found this from the Église Saint Paul-Saint Louis  in the Marais.  As the people of our state and the SE continue to try and get  their lives back in some order, your prayers, kind thoughts, and donations are so appreciated.

Église Bray sur Seine

This Sunday we are going back inside the simple but lovely Église Bray sur Seine. We visited before here.

Bray sur Seine, France

Light a Candle

All three of these images are from the *oldest church in Paris, Saint-Germain- des- Prés. Dating from the 6th Century, this is just a beautiful church in the 6th arrondissement.

* This is according to the website: Sacred Destinations. I understand that there are differing opinions regarding the oldest church in Paris. You decide.
