Église Saint-Vincent-de-Paul de Paris
The impressive façade of this church sits atop a hill in the 10ème arrondissement
with a broad entrance at Place Franz-Liszt.
Completed in 1844 by Jacques Hittorff, there are a series of ramps
which were originally designed to aid access by horse-drawn carriages.
Today, there are a series of gardens leading up to the front steps.
Seen above the portico is a pediment sculpted by Charles-François Leboeuf-Nanteuil
on the glorification of Saint Vincent-de-Paul.
He is seen surrounded by figures symbolizing his saintly actions.
We arrived just as the doors were closing at noon and so we left to return later,
just as I will bring you back here soon
to see the inside of this large church and the treasures it holds.
bon dimanche

What's not to love in Paris architecture???
The pediment is really something. I'll be back to see the interior.
That is amazing. Love the facade.
Paris is filled with beautiful building of which this has to be oneof the nicest. The facade is gorgeous. So much work went into all of the sculptures.

You really found the right angle! I had more or less this view at luchtime during five years, when I worked close to Place Franz Liszt. Never brought my camera those days! :-)
