Église Saint Etienne du Mont


The special details of this church continue to delight, whether it is the abundance of angels and cherubs or something as simple as a light against the background of stained glass.

Bon dimanche

    Well, our winds are almost under control and the rains are down to something looking normal. Thank you for all of the kind emails over the past few days.

    I hope that your weekend was wonderful and for those of us in the USA, happy Labor Day - holiday!

    Bises,
