Basilique Sainte-Thérèse de Lisieux - rose petals falling from the dome of the basilique by Beausoleil
Saint Thérèse of Lisieux was canonized in 1925 and the Basilique was started in 1929 and while blessed in 1937 and in use was not completed and consecrated until 1954 so it is a recent building as famous French churches go. We happened into a special Mass for a festival of some sort that continued into October. The Mass was attended by close to 4000 people, the capacity of the basilica. There was a procession carrying a reliquary at the beginning of the Mass and at the end rose petals fell from the dome during the procession. It was an amazing experience and one we were not expecting.

Mosaic at the Musée d’Archéologie Nationale in Saint-Germain-en-Laye by Beausoleil
The Musée d’Archéologie Nationale et Domaine National de Saint-Germain-en-Laye covers the history of France back to the stone age. There are ancient bones, artifacts, art and information throughout the several floors of the château. We visited for the Henri II special exhibit, but having finished that, we decided to continue through the main exhibits so returned via the beautiful Courtyard to the main château and archeological exhibits. We left for lunch nearby and returned to spend the afternoon exploring prehistoric France, the Gauls and the Roman rule with some beautiful mosaics.

Mosaic Floor in the Museum by Beausoleil
The museum is more than the baths. There are lots of Roman artifacts and a wonderful collection of Roman coins. At the museum, there are free audio guides available in 17 languages. The first shrine here was built by the Celts and it has been adopted by the Romans and then the British who have all added their improvements. This is all detailed on the audio guide.
