Notre Dame de Paris from rue d'Arcole by Beausoleil
This was as close as we could get after the April 2019 fire at Notre Dame. I took this in early June on our last day in Paris. At the beginning of our month there, rue d'Arcole had been closed off so this was an improvement. I suspect it will be many years before we can go inside again. So sad . . .

Sainte-Chapelle, Paris by Beausoleil
One of the absolute must-see sights in Paris, Sainte-Chapelle is no longer a functioning chapel but is visited for it's stained glass windows. Arranged across 15 windows, each 15 meters high, the stained glass panes depict 1,113 scenes from the Old and New Testaments recounting the history of the world until the arrival of the Crown of Thorns and other religious relics in Paris. The relics are no longer housed in Sainte-Chapelle having been moved to Notre Dame and now stored because of the Notre Dame fire. There are two different chapels, the lower chapel, originally dedicated to the the officers, and the upper chapel, dedicated to the king and his family. Both are amazing and utterly beautiful but the stained glass in the upper chapel is what you want to be sure to see.

Église de Saint Germain des Prés by Beausoleil
The church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés is an old Benedictine abbey of Paris founded in 543 by the Merovingian king Childebert I and the bishop of Paris Saint Germain. The abbey has had several names including Saint-Vincent and Sainte-Croix. It is a royal abbey and is directly subject to the Pope. The current choir was built in the middle of the 12th century in the Gothic style and consecrated by Pope Alexander III on April 21, 1163. It is one of the first French Gothic buildings and in the world. After the Revolution, all abbeys were abolished and St. Germain became a saltpetre factory. Worship was restored April 29, 1803. Since then, the church has been a parish church. Between 1821 and 1854 the church was restored by the architects Étienne-Hippolyte Godde and Victor Baltard and was classified as a historic monument in 1862.

Statue of St. Anthony of Padua in St. Pierre de Montmartre in Paris by Beausoleil
St. Pierre, around the corner from Sacre Coeur, is one of the oldest churches in Paris. There was a Roman Temple followed by a Merovingian Church and then other churches and abbeys until the St. Pierre we see today (with additions) was started in 1133 and consecrated in 1147. It has been deconsecrated and reconsecrated over the years, bombed during the war and desecrated during the various revolutions. Much remains and much has been added. It is a magical place that I find much more interesting to visit than nearby Sacre Coeur. In addition to the ancient statues, there is marvelous modern stained glass by the master stained glass window maker Max Ingrand, and these wonderful bronze doors by the Italian, Tommaso Gismondi, were added in 1980.

Sculpture of Ste. Bathilde 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!

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.

Visiting the Marmottan-Monet Museum in Paris by Beausoleil
We seldom have a photo together since one of us has to take the picture so when a nice young man offered to take a photo for us in the Marmottan-Monet, we cheerfully accepted. The photo was fun but the fact that he set off my flash twice in the museum was disconcerting. I never use the flash unless I'm completely in the dark and flash is allowed. Fortunately, there wasn't a docent in the adjoining room so we all escaped. The picture behind us is painted on a very large door. You pass through it as you leave the room of Illuminations.

Illumination - The Marmottan-Monet Museum - Paris by Beausoleil
There was a special exhibit at the Marmottan-Monet while we were on our 55th anniversary trip to Paris. The museum has the largest collection of the works of Claude Monet including his 1872 "Impression, Sunrise" that gave the name to Impressionism. They also have a stunning collection of Berthe Morisot and another of illuminated medieval manuscripts. Add the beautiful Ranelagh Park next to the museum, and it is a marvelous day in Paris.
