Joyeux Noël

Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois

When the Louvre was the Palais Louvre, this was the church for the palace.  Located directly across the street from the museum, it's well worth a stop. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to hear the chimes.

Sunday Church Series - La Crèche

I'm always interested to see that some of the most magnificent cathedrals in Paris, often have the most humble and unusual crèches on display.  The glorious Basilica de Saint Denis, featured this one on the stairs leading up to the altar.

L'ange - Sainte Trinité

This beautiful papier maché angel stood beside the altar at Sainte Trinité church.  The créche was off to one side. The crates used here were also stacked on the altar. Lovely

Joyeux Noël à toi et toute ta famille

La crèche

This crèche at the Basilique Cathédrale de Saint-Denis is one of the most unusual I've seen anywhere in Paris.  If I didn't know better, I'd think les petits enfants had been rearranging the figures.

Église de la Sainte-Trinité

This magnificent papier maché angel was part of one of the most beautiful nativities I have ever seen. Made, I'm assuming, from papier maché, each figure was lit from within.  I'll share more next December !
