Looking up into the dome of Eglise Saint Louis d'Antin, only a block from Printemps and Galeries Lafayette. The outside is plain and nondescript, but what beautiful sights are contained within.

There are so many hidden gems in Paris! Thanks for this one.
ReplyDeleteI'm learning more than ever how important it is to look up. Magnificent, Genie. I hope you're having a marvellous weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful teal blue!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent. This fresco in the dome is very intense. It portrays the devotion the artists and their patrons had for their religion.
ReplyDeletebeautiful, would be nice in my bedroom too ;-) Really beautiful colours, magnificent
ReplyDeleteHmm. I know some people that you could describe the same way!Beautiful shot..
ReplyDeleteIt's always so enjoyable when there's a surprise inside. But, then again, Paris is always full of surprises! Delightful surprises.

Genie, you captured the light coming in from the dome window so well -- it bathes the fresco and makes to gold in the images shine. Lovely photo and a wonderful memory!
ReplyDeleteI guess it was so nondescript I walked right past it! HA
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dome.

ReplyDeleteIt's nice to be able to see the details around the painting as well. I have a fascination with scrolls and doodle them everywhere.

Truly beautiful. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteIt is very beautiful. Guess it just goes to show, you can't judge a book by its cover.
ReplyDeleteI am often guilty of judging by the cover. Shame on me. I would have missed this. Nice one as usual, Genie. (Hope you enjoyed your visit with Holly.)
ReplyDeleteThere is so much beauty in the old works of art. I love visiting churches when I travel.
ReplyDeleteSimply amazing.
