Basilique des Saints Nazaire et Celse by Beausoleil
There had been a wedding the evening before and it seems every flower in the surrounding area was in the church. Our presumption was that either the town florist got married yesterday . . . or he got rich.

Basilique des Saints Nazaire et Celse Baptistry by Beausoleil
This striking tapestry has been on display at St. Nazaire for several years and I can't find the artist. I have photos of it going back to 2010 and I'm sure that little plaque on the wall gives all the information but I keep forgetting to photograph it.

Exhibit in the Crypt of St. Denis holding his severed head. by Beausoleil
One of several exhibits at Basilique Cathédrale de Saint-Denis. St. Denis is always depicted holding his severed head. Saint Denis supposedly picked up his head after being decapitated and walked six miles while preaching a sermon of repentance the entire way. He is easy to find above the door into Notre Dame de Paris as he holds his head.

Stained glass in the crypt at Basilique Cathédrale de Saint-Denis by Beausoleil
We went to Basilique Cathédrale de Saint-Denis outside Paris to find some of my ancestors who are buried there. In the process we explored the entire church and discovered this beautiful stained glass window in the Crypt. If you visit the Basilica, be aware that you must pay to visit the necropolis where all the tombs are located. The entire church is surely worth the visit.
