Sunday Church Series - Val-de-Grâce

I loved attending services at the Église Val-de-Grâce twice during our stay in Paris in 2009. One of the churches you won't read about but is just beautiful. At that time, it was only open to the public during the services on Sunday.

The beautiful Église Val-de-Grâce. Was fortunate to stay near this church in 2009. I visited for services twice during our stay.

Sunday Church Series - L'église Val-de-Grâce

In June 2009, our apartment had the spectacular view of the Val-de-Gras church from our windows. I attended services there on two occasions, something I will never forget. While sitting in the back of the church before the services began, I noticed this lady and quietly snapped her photo.

Sunday Church Series - Église du Royale Val-de-Grâce

Built in the middle of the 17th century by Queen Anne of Austria, the monastery was converted into a military hospital adjoining the church after the Revolution.  This beautiful Baroque dome, designed by Jacque Lemercier.

The view from our apartment windows, the summer of 2009.  I photographed this church in every light. This was right after an afternoon shower.
