Detail on the Entry of Ste. Clothilde Church in Paris by Beausoleil

Ste. Clothilde is a beautiful neo-Gothic church with a magnificent organ. There is often a recital before or after Mass and there are evening concerts at the church. We attended a Fauré "Requiem" on one of our first nights there on one trip. On this trip we were just walking past and decided to stop for a few moments.

Centre international du vitrail (Stained Glass Museum) - Chartres by Beausoleil

We've visited Chartres many times but this was our first visit to the stained glass museum. I'm not sure why unless it was time constraint that kept us from it before. It's right across from the Cathedral so an easy walk. We both paint so enjoy art and stained glass is magnificent art and often last longer than any other medium. This is an international organization to preserve older stained glass and promote the creation of modern stained glass. They do exhibitions, workshops and all sorts of recovery efforts. They also exhibit modern stained glass.

West Portal of Chartres Cathedral, known as the Royal Portal by Beausoleil

Books have been written about Chartres Cathedral and I encourage you to read some of them. It is my absolute favorite cathedral in the entire world (not that my research pool is terribly large) and I'm not sure what it is that attracts me. The first time we visited Chartres was fortunately a sunny day so the stained glass was spectacular. However, I was more struck by the floor of the ancient church. It was very worn stone and the sun shining through the stained glass windows onto the floor worn slick by 800 years of feet caught my imagination. I could not begin to imagine the number of people who had trod the floor before me and who would continue to walk there long after I had left. There are 176 stained glass windows and the color most overwhelming is the famous Chartres blue. I'm not sure if the windows or their reflections on the floor or the white choir screen are the more beautiful. Another thing that enchanted me on my first viewing that still delights me after many years is the beautiful white choir screen. It's a later addition to the church having been finished in 1714 but the perfection of the tiny stories in stone surrounding the altar is sheer magic. It has recently been cleaned so is even more beautiful than previously.

South Entrance to the Louvre from the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel - Paris by Beausoleil

There are two entrances to the Louvre on the north and south sides of the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. They are hard to see because there is only the low cement wall surrounding them and your eye is taken by the huge Arc de Triomphe standing between them with the attendant crowds. With the exception of the Lion's Gate (when it is open and when it is not just for a special group), these are the two quickest entrances . . . but not on this day. The employees of the Louvre were overcome with visitors that day and just gave up. The closed the museum, sent everyone home and left. It was a mini-strike and they reopened the next day but they had made their point. The next thing we ran into was a taxi strike stopping traffic all over the city so we couldn't use our bus either. Fortunately, the Metro was still running.

Entrance Kiosk at Holker Hall with the Courtyard in the Background by Beausoleil

Holker Hall, home of the Cavendish Family, has never been bought or sold but passed by inheritance through just three families: the Prestons, the Lowthers and the Cavendishes, with each generation leaving its impression by either altering the landscape or by changing the house by adding, refacing, embellishing or even rebuilding, as happened to the New Wing after the disastrous fire of 1871. There is an excellent display about the famous fire. We took a tour in the morning, had lunch at The Ilex Bar and Brasserie then wandered the Hall and Gardens by ourselves in the afternoon.

Entrance to Lanhydrock House and Gardens by Beausoleil

This is the welcome booth. There is a path to the manor house and if you need it, they have a shuttle service back and forth. It was raining when we left so we did take the shuttle back to parking in the interest of staying somewhat dry.

Château de Beauregard Entrance and Gift Shop by Beausoleil

The Château de Beauregard is a Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France and is slightly north of the village of Cellettes. The ruins of a chapel, prior to the fifteenth century, are still visible in the park and have stone carvings of the shell of the pilgrims going to Saint Jacques de Compostela in Spain. The most impressive part of the castle is the Gallery of Portraits where the walls are decorated with 327 portraits of famous people who lived between 1328 (date of the beginning of the reign of Philippe VI of France) and 1643 (death of Louis XIII). The floor is decorated with 5500 Delft tiles so you can look up or down and be impressed. The ceiling is also brilliantly decorated with the use of lapis lazuli paint for the blue. At the time it was done, the lapis lazuli cost more than gold so it is a very expensive ceiling. The gardens are extensive and themed. The outstanding feature (to us) was the 14th century chapel which was located on the route of St Jacques de Compostela. On the side you will find carved stone shells of Saint Jacques. The chapel is, unfortunately, in ruins. Inside, two plaques commemorate Count Alain du Pavillon and one of his sons.

Château de Beauregard near Cellettes by Beausoleil

We had an older GPS unit and the entrance to the Château had been moved so we wandered a bit. Just stay on the D956 and the Château is clearly marked. If you are coming from the north, you will see the Château before you arrive in Cellettes.

Entrance to Château de Villandry by Beausoleil

Chateau of Villandry is the last of the great chateaux of the Loire built during the Renaissance in the Loire Valley. It was modified over the years until 1906 when Dr. Joachim Carvallo and his American wife Ann Coleman bought and restored it to its Renaissance grandeur. The Carvallo family still own it and are continuing renovations and improvements. If you time your visits several years apart, you can see the changes. It's fun to watch the transformation. Many people go to Villandry to visit the gardens and will tell you to skip the château. Don't listen to them. The château is wonderful and gets better each year. Furthermore, the view of the gardens from the top of the tower is magnificent. Then, after you climb down from the tower, visit the gardens and enjoy them too. You can easily spend a full day at Villandry.

The hidden entrance to the Petit Palais by Beausoleil

I have no idea why people were not using the extra entrance. It would have cut the lines in half. As it was, we walked in immediately with no line at all through the little door to the side of the main entrance. You still go through security.

Entrance to the Museum of Letters and Manuscripts in Paris by Beausoleil

This museum is on blvd. St. Germain and a little hard to find because the entrance is inside this doorway. The signs are quite small as you can see. It is definitely worth searching out.
