Sunday Church Series - Le plafond

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.

Wednesday I posted a photograph from the necropolis of the Panthéon, so this Sunday I thought you might enjoy seeing Église Etienne du Mont. Adjacent to the Panthéon , it contains the shrine of St. Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris . As I visited the many churches in France, I began to notice the gorgeous ceiling details of each and every one. I thought this one was especially beautiful.
