Paris - Two churches

Sainte Chappelle is a simply staggering building... Hidden away within the City Court complex, you queue for a while to get through pretty stringent security, and then to buy tickets.. and then you enter the most beautiful church building... No longer used for services we were welcome to take flash photography.. but unfortunately we were by no means the only ones!!!

The stained glass windows depict many of the books of the Old Testament, starting with genesis on the right hand side . . . . the photos by no means do the place justice.. and if you need any promting to visit Paris, just look up this place int the guide books and then GO!




and then on to Notre Dame... If we thought St Chappelle was busy then Notre Dame was like sections of the M25... and you know which sections I mean... We had to queue to get in, dodge the ever present beggars and then join the multitudes inside.

This was one of the side chapels...




and finally back in the fresh air.. a wonderful door knocker!
