After School in Paris

After school fun outside a high school in the Marais,  just steps from the Saint-Louis-Saint-Paul church.

Sunday Church Series - Les bougies

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.

As we were leaving the church, I spotted this little office.

Fête de la Musique - Trop Tard

Not only did I miss Paris' Fête de la Musique yesterday, I also missed my 5th Anniversary of my Birmingham Alabama Daily Photo blog.  In an effort to catch up, today I share this loud but wonderful drum corps that I encountered on the steps of the St. Paul-St. Louis church as I came up from the Métro on June 21, 2010.  What a great night full of music in Paris.

Sunday Church Series - Voilà

Completed in 1641, the Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis church was in serious need of some restoration work.  When we visited in January 2012, the front facade was covered.  What a nice surprise to see the work completed when we passed last month.  The stonework has been cleaned and now you can really see the marvelous details.  Of course the new choice of rouge for the doors pleased me very much indeed!

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.

Sunday Church Series - Église Saint Paul-Saint Louis

Today I share one of my very favorite photographs.  Église St-Paul-St-Louis Church in the Marais is a church I've visited many times in Paris. This time was very special.

Église Saint Paul - Saint Louis I

As I have been featuring the churches of France each Sunday, today let's return to the beautiful Église Saint Louis-Saint Paul church in le Marais. "Commissioned by Louis XIII and completed in 1641, the Church is one of the oldest examples of Jesuit architecture in Paris." Be sure to click on the link, as it's a site which offers a panoramic tour of the entire church.

Street Scene

At the end of this perfectly Parisian street you will find the beautiful Église Saint Louis-Saint Paul in le Marais. Stop by tomorrow to see a photograph from inside the church.
