Église Saint Roch

This late Baroque church is filled with art,

stunning architecture, a storied past, and

three magnificent organs.

The Marquis de Sade was married (!) here in 1763,

and Yves Saint Laurent's funeral brought over 1,000 people

 to this church in 2008.  

My friend Peter Olsen (Peter's Paris blog) provided 

many interesting photos and facts which you can find here.

The candles in this side chapel 

of Église Saint Roch

may not capture your attention

but I wonder about the image

of a young woman crying that appears 

in the upper right corner.

a ghost or my imagination?

Rows of chairs and the long carpeted aisle 

give an indication of the size of this church on Rue Saint Honoré.

Saint-Roch is filled with art, stunning architecture, a storied past...

and three magnificent organs.
