la Pleine Lune

The Full Moon over Paris

I have seen the rising full moon a few times in Paris,

and it always makes me realize how small the world is.

I hope that you will have clear skies and can enjoy the full moon tonight. 

 I will be watching it seven hours later than the Paris full moon from my city.

If you miss the rising, you can always watch it set in the early pre-dawn hours.

 Just as magnificent setting in the western sky.

Hôtel de Ville et Église Saint Gervais

75004, Paris

 

Église St. Gervais et St. Protais II

This 17th century church, situated just to the east of Hôtel de Ville in the Marais, holds many interesting details.  The church origins trace back to the 6th century and this current structure was built in Flamboyant Gothic style.  On this bright January morning, the rows and rows of pew benches made long shadows in the patterned rug.

The church today is affiliated with the Monastic and Lay Communities of Jerusalem, which is committed to bring prayer to the city, at times that suit the schedules of working people with services beore the work day begins; during the lunch hours; and when the work day is finished.

Église St. Gervais et St. Protais

With a storied history of musicians and composers, this Gothic church is filled with light.  

 The bright January sun doubled the beauty of this stained glass window.
