I'm always interested to see that some of the most magnificent cathedrals in Paris, often have the most humble and unusual crèches on display. The glorious Basilica de Saint Denis, featured this one on the stairs leading up to the altar.
Chère Virginia. La crêche is a big deal in France. My mom's is smaller and much more modest than this one, but she still puts it up every year during the Holidays. I have loved following you (and my beloved Paris, though your inspired photos) this year, and look forward to more of the same in 2015. Come and check out my French-themed sapin de Noël on the blog this week when you get a chance! Joyeux Noël to you, your family, and Mademoiselle Meeps, bien sûr. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

ReplyDeleteAnd even nicer for their simplicity. This is charming (and your header is a knockout!).
ReplyDeleteThis one does have a humble, simple sensibility to the set. And in such a grand setting, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is remarkably simple. Given how beautiful French creche figures can be, I would prefer to see a more elegant creche set. But, they didn't ask me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for going all the way out to St. Denis to capture this photo for us. I like the simplicity of this creche.
ReplyDeleteThat is so simple, poignant and beautiful V. Merry Christmas to you.
