Jardin du Luxembourg - les nuages, les fleurs, et les anges

Jardin du Luxembourg

These cherubs appear to be lifting a bowl,

 filled with flowers, 

holding it up to the sky 

to better receive the rain

Église Notre-Dame-de-Grâce-de-Passy - la crèche

Église Notre-Dame-de-Grâce-de-Passy

Although the works of art, the chapels, the marble altar, a great organ, and architecture of four centuries are well-documented, it is this quiet corner at the rear of the church which caught my attention.

Candles and camels, angels and cherubs, 

all surround the manger, completed by a "star in the east."

One could spend many hours observing the beauty of this church: 

The imagery, the architecture, the repeating patterns, 

the organs, the artwork...

I wonder just how many angels and cherubs there might be.

Église Saint Étienne du Mont - Angels on High

Angels on high

I do not believe that anyone has counted the angels and cherubs in Église Saint Étienne du Mont, but there are many, perhaps hundreds.

I have brought you here before and will bring you again.  This bright, airy church is filled with details, history, angels, and light.  I will have to return for a concert.

A window box without flowers can

still delight with an angel and a dove.

To see Shell Sherree's lovely interpretation of the boulangerie I posted  on Tuesday, click here for the "hop" and take a look.

Église Saint-Étienne du Mont - l'orgue

The organ of Saint-Étienne du Mont is a marvel of architectural design and carving, dating back to the early 17th Century. It would be a challenge to count the cherubs and angels in this church, starting here with the organ. If you decide to count, do not forget to look at the ceiling for the little cherub faces.

I have shown this church before, here and here. It is just across the square from the Parthenon in the 5ième arrondissement.
