Église Saint-Vincent-de-Paul de Paris
Last Sunday I promised to bring you inside
for a glimpse of the intricate details of this magnificent church.
On the right you can see a portion of the painted frieze around the nave
of 160 male and female saints advancing towards the sanctuary,
painted by (Hippolyte Flandrin, 1848-53)
This photo is taken from the apse behind the main altar
and looking back toward the grand organ and the entrance of the church.
There is more to come...

Dear Genie
This is such a magnificent church - thank you for taking us there Genie!
It's one of the many amazing images you take for us on your little sojourns in our beautiful Paris.
I love your pic of Jardin des Tuileries on your previous post!
I lways get a lift when I visit your special blog dear Genie - merci beaucoup mon ami!

What a beautiful church..not one I was able to visit though. I just left Paris last week. I did visit the Ste Chapelle..saw it on your blog and had to! Bon Dimanche a toi aussi!
Not as I expected,but the interior does match the exterior.
Bon dimanche Genie,
Ruby
That is a beautiful church. I always like to look inside.have a nice week.
Wow. Can you imagine if we paid that much attention to detail in our buildings today. Love it.
I have a new book out, The Summer of France about a family who goes to visit France for the first time that you might enjoy.
And I wanted to invite you to participate in a new meme I started on Mondays, in case you want to play along On Mondays, you’ll find My Dreaming of France meme
All the detailed work in the ceiling is impressive!
God bless you!

Truly stunning and magnificent! :) What a treat for a (very) rainy Sunday afternoon..
Unbelievable beauty...what a gorgeous church. I did not see it when I was there. Your capture is awesome.the other genie
I love all the artistic details.
So glad you liked the church's interior. I have several more details and interesting items to share with you. Would you believe that in all the times I have been to Paris that I have never been to this church. It makes a statement on the landscape.
Hope that you all have a great week ahead. I can count on one hand the number of days I have been home in the month of October. Sorry that I have not been to visit often.
Bises,
Genie
Oh wow, that is supremely gorgeous. I always find it so extraordinary the little known churches of Paris can be so profoundly beautiful, and often so uncrowded too.
I´ve never been to this church. What a pity! It looks awesome.
