Basilique Notre-Dame des Victoires - en réflexion



Basilique Notre-Dame des Victoires


In the small, quiet Place des Petits-Pères 
sits the regal Basilique Notre-Dame des Victoires, 
one of the ten minor basilicas in the Île-de-France region.


Our sunny day of arrival in Paris 
created a reflection amidst the orchids.


bon dimanche

Comme a dit Bibi! I worked very near here once upon a time, and would sometimes "escape" to this church for some peace and quiet.

What a lovely reflection! Love all the orchids!!! In my first wedding (yep, there's been more than one...) my veil was anchored by two white cymbidium orchids...(the white ones in the window-I think they're Cymbidiums?) One on each side...sounds a bit corny...but it actually was very pretty...

Thank you for the comments today. The orchids remind me of my dad who had a greenhouse full of them.

In addition to the beautiful fleuriste there is a wonderful pâtisserie open Mon-Fri.

Bises,
Genie
