Sunday Church Series - Saint-Étienne-du-Mont

Certainly not the largest church in Paris but the architectural details are stunning. I scoot inside for a few minutes, every time I'm in the neighborhood.

If you've got the Panthéon on your list, this church is just behind.

Sunday Church Series - Saint-Étienne-du-Mont

This is one of my favorite churches in Paris, and that says a lot. If you're in Paris and visiting the Panthéon, take the time to walk behind to this beautiful church. Pay your respects to the remains of Saint Genevieve and take in the exquisite  details here.

Sunday Church Series - Look Up

The vaulted ceiling of Église Saint-Étienne du-Mont. Completed in 1624, it holds the shrine of Sainte Geneviève. Although her remains were burned and thrown in the Seine during the French Revolution, the slab that her remains had rested upon is now enshrined  in gold lattice. Located next to the Panthéon, it is a must see.

The other day, a friend reminded me of the movie, MIDNIGHT IN PARIS. I took this photograph in the pouring rain early one evening in Paris. These are the steps beside Saint Étienne du Mont,  where the Gil was picked up each evening at midnight.

Actually it was a little earlier but these are the steps of Saint Étienne du Mont made famous by the movie Midnight in Paris.

Today I rejoin James' Weekend Reflections right HERE!

Ceiling detail, Saint-Étienne-du-Mont

This is one of my favorite churches in Paris. Nestled beside the Panthéon, we always stop in on our way down to Luxembourg Gardens. The ceiling alone is worth the trip.
