Jour du Marché

Marché Saint-Eustache- Les Halles

Ecoute - The Listener

Located on Place René Cassin, just outside Église Saint-Eustache, Henri Miller's enormous sculpture, Ecoute, depicts an enormous head resting in a hand. The public art, combining old Paris architecture with new and eclectic art is yet another reason I love Paris.

This beautiful Gothic church, built between 1532-1632 is one I would highly recommend. I love the church itself, but outside the contemporary sculpture, Écoute, is a favorite of mine as well.

Le parapluie et l'église

I was aimlessly wandering  the Marché Saint- Eustache-les Halles when I spotted this parapluie set up by one of the vendors. Merci Monsieur!

Garçon avec le chapeau

You met this boy earlier. I watched his dad chase him around Henri de Miller's  L'écoute,  by  Saint Eustache one sunny afternoon.  Here he is in person.  Perhaps he was a tourist, who knows.  I loved watching their fun and hearing his giggles as he raced around that day.

L'Écoute, of course!

Yesterday I posed this puzzle,  and I should have known my very smart readers would guess that I snapped this at Saint Eustache.  Écoute by sculptor Henri de Miller, has always fascinated me, and when I happened upon this boy and his father having such a grand game of chase around it, I couldn't resist. Today I share a few more.

My, What Big Hands You Have!

This massive piece of modern sculpture, L'Écoute, by Henri Miller was placed beside Saint Eustache in 1986.  Mon amie Mary, posed to give you an idea of the enormity of this piece.  I think it's also a hit with the younger set as I will share another time.

Taken from high atop the Centre Georges Pompidou (through the glass), a view of the Église Saint-Eustache   that one doesn't normally see. I'm feeling pretty proud of myself for identifying this lovely Paris church, which geographically is a lot farther away than it appears.

Saint Eustache

Today's Sunday Church Series takes us to Saint Eustache in the 1eme,  built between 1532-1632. It is considered an excellent example of late Gothic architecture.  See for yourself.

For all my faithful readers and commentors, I have been very busy with training for a new job. I hope to get back to comments and blog visits shortly.

Les Églises

Église Saint Eustache

Over the summer, I visited an amazing number of churches and cathedrals all over France. Today two very different ones. The top is Église Saint Eustache in Paris near Les Halles. The bottom is simply Église Bray sur Seine. One very ornate, the other a simple village church. Both beautiful places of worship.

Since I have an extensive collection of French churches now, each Sunday ( dimanche) I will share some with you.
