Basilique Sacré-Cœur on Montmartre in Paris from Place St.-Pierre by Beausoleil
Shining white Travertine marble on the highest hill in Paris, Sacré-Cœur can be seen from almost anyplace in the city. When you climb the steps up to the Basilica, you have wonderful views over Paris. The basilica itself is Byzantine in style and rather dark inside. No photos are allowed but no one seems to pay much attention to this rule and the ushers have nearly given up asking people not to take pictures since mobile phones have come into widespread use.

Main Altar at Basilica Ste. Clotilde in Paris by Beausoleil
Ste. Clotilde was consecrated on the 30th November 1857 and dedicated to Ste. Clotilde, wife of Clovis, the first Christian King of France, and to Ste. Valerie. In 1897, 1,400 years after the baptism of Clovis, the sanctuary was granted the status of minor basilica by Pope Leon XIII. The style is neo-Gothic and walking into the church is a thrill. There are also free organ recitals on the famous organ after the 11 AM Mass each Sunday and the church is a venue for many concerts. We attended the Faurék "Requiem" there on our first night in Paris on one visit. What a great way to start a visit to Paris!

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.
