TheÉglise de la Sainte-Trinitéhouses not one but two organs. I think the bell tower is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, and that cobalt blue sky at dusk made it more so.
Virginia, your blue skies really emphasize the details of this exquisite tower... This is a place that captivates and makes a camera happy in all seasons.
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.

Oh my ... what a fantastic composition -- you couldn't have asked for a better sky! The bell tower is gorgeous.
I am spending my Sunday afternoon with your photos. Then I am going to sleep a little bit or read.
Have a nice Sunday!
Adeeya,
It is in the 9eme. I fixed the link so you could see it.
M,
It had raine most of the day and we were awestruck when the skies brightened then turned this fabulous bleu.
Èva,
I'm glad you enjoy my photos. BTW, my granddaughter's name is Eva!

One of the most beautiful? You're preaching to the choir here—so to speak! Bon dimanche, mon amie.
Now this beautiful structure with the oh so blue sky would tempt me to attend mass!!
You have an amazing eye!!

Perfect waning light illuminating the bell tower.
Gorgeous!!! The contrast of the bright blue sky against the old patina of the church tower...wonderful photo V of a beautiful spot...
La Sainte-Trinité is one of the most beautiful, but there are so many equally as beautiful. The only time we tried to enter, it was closed.
Sigh. Another week not spent in Paris. Thanks for your pics, V.
Magnificent, I love the angle in this picture!
