| La Tour Eiffel, un verre du vin, and chatting with a good friend...it just doesn't get any better! |
After breakfast yesterday, we started out toward the Musée Cluny (Moyen Age) as it's one we've wanted to see but couldn't work in on past trips. But as we passed by Saint Sulpice church, we noticed that the doors were open and couldn't resist a look inside. This trip, we've so enjoyed the churches, even though neither one of us is Christian. The beauty of them, and that feeling of sacred space is a heady combination. Many churches did not allow photography inside, but this one did.

ReplyDeleteSaint-Sulpice is a beautiful church. We stopped there on a rainy day and enjoyed it. While we were there, someone started playing the organ.
