Sunday Church Series - Église Saint Paul - Saint Louis

Église Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis in the Marais is always a church that I visit each and every trip.

Sunday Church Series - Les chaises

I spent a good a amount of time photographing these chairs and shadows at the Église Saint-Paul-Saint-Luis in the Marais.  This one of my favorite churches in Paris. I rarely visit the Marais without stopping in.

Today I happily join Shadow Shot Sunday right HERE!

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!

Mémoires

Today let's take a stroll down Memory Lane or as the French might say, Mémoire Chemin ( or Chemin de Mémoire?)*.  This is the view of the beautiful Église Saint Paul-Saint Louis on rue Saint Antoine in the Marais.  When I stayed in the neighborhood last June, I enjoyed this view many times as I wandered up and down the streets of the charming Marais area. I never tired of it.  In fact,  a similar photograph in sepia is one of three photographs framed over my bed.

* Google Translator and I along with my dictionary made this translation. I'm open to corrections here!

Paris Rouge XXX - Afternoon Light

Today, another church in Paris, the lovely Église St. Paul- St. Louis in the Marais. I've been fortunate to photograph this church on several visits. This is a side entrance. The afternoon sun on the door and tiles was nice I thought.
