Église Saint Paul Saint Louis

Beautifully restored, it is a visual treat
to turn a corner and see this magnificent church
in the heart of the Marais


Constructed from 1627 to 1641,
it was due for another refreshing

Tucked in a corner of this beautiful and storied church sits this

confessional, obscured in semi-darkness.

The rays of light entering a church window illuminate

the corner confessional, revealing a warm patina.

If you have not been to Paris recently 

you might not recognize the magnificent Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis.  

After more than a year of work,

 the exterior has been brought back to a nearly new appearance.  

I had only seen the doors in a very sombre, dark and indistinguishable color.  

As you can see, the details of the newly-painted doors are displayed in bright red, 

ah yes, Paris rouge.
