| Looking Northwest, from the bridge between the Notre-Dame towers. In the center: St. Eustache, to the right, on the hill (Montmartre) the Basilica of Sacre-Coeur. |

| Four pointy things: from Left the Gold dome of Les Invalides (Napoleon's final resting place is directly beneath the dome), black spire of St. Germain-des-Pres (Oldest church in Paris), La Tour Eiffel, and at right the twin Gothic spires of Ste. Clotilde (where Cesar Franck was organist). All on the left bank of the Seine, looking West. Taken from the South tower of Notre-Dame. |
Nice blogs! Great pix. Weather looks accordingly cooperative. Clarify something for me s.v.p. Is St. Eustache designated as a "cathedral" as per your picture description? I thought N.D. was the main one, with lots of basilica churches scattered about. Maybe "sub-cathedral"?
ReplyDeleteHope the vin rouge is tres bien and satisfies all of your educated pallets.
Weather in IA is spectacularly warm - almost 69 a few days ago....we leave for CA and the SW almost reluctantly from these tropical climes!
