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.

Sunday Church Series - Église-Saint- Étienne-du-Mont


This beautiful church contains the shrine of Saint Geneviève, the patron saint of Paris. Located just beside the Panthéon, yet another church in Paris that should not be missed.
