This parish church found on the same street as Berthillion on l'Île Saint-Louis,
on the quiet end of the street with few cars.
This is the same church where we saw a donkey on Palm Sunday.
Construction started in 1642 at the direction of Louis XIV using the plans of François Le Vau who was also designing Versailles. The interior is filled with art and this sculpture seems appropriate for wishing the moms a wonderful Mother's Day.

Hello Genie:
Church architecture of almost any period, together with many of the religious paintings to be found inside churches, remain an overriding interest of ours.
THis is so beautiful. I love this photo.
I'm compiling a list of "must see & photograph when next in Paris", from your blog. Unfortunately it's looking as if I'm departing for France without my much longed for telephoto lens. C'est la vie!
Warm wishes for a wonderful Mother's Day.
Mother and child reunion.
Wait! There's something on that street besides Berthillon? No way....
What a perfectly beautiful Mother and Child! Happy Mother's Day ma chère amie!
Such a beautiful image from this wonderful old church—thanks, Genie! Hope you're being pampered today, ma chère.
Simply amazing.
Such mastery in this work!
God bless you!

Great image fab lighting nicely done!
I'm intrigued by decorative relief in the background,it looks Baroque but may be too early for that.
Lovely choice of subject for today.
Happy Mother's Day!

Bon dimanche aussi, Génie.
The state is, indeed, a good Mothers' Day metaphor.
A fine image for Mothers Day, Genie.
Hope you've had a nice MOther's Day today!
