Église Saint-Quiriace

Église Saint-Quiriace

This church in the small town of Provins, just beyond Paris, 

was founded early in the 11th century.  

The town is divided into an Upper Town and a Lower Town,

 respectively called the Châtel (Castle) and the Val (Valley).

This church sits in its elevated position in the upper town, 

and although it has never been completed it is worthy of a visit.

Une croix de Provins

Just a short trip out of Paris 

the Medieval city of Provins is filled

with history and architecture.

Here in the courtyard of Eglise Saint-Quiriace

a delicate cross is surrounded by lush palettes of green

Église Saint-Quiriace - la porte rouge

Église Saint-Quiriace

The setting for this Twelfth Century church

 is rich with history. 

We watched as she entered the red doors on gloomy day.  

You can catch just a brief glimpse of her blue robes in the puddle.
