Basilique Sainte Clotilde

There are many notable historic churches in Europe, so standing out is difficult. This little…read morechurch caught the eye of my wife and I and we explored it for a closer look. Absolutely beautiful architecture and detailed pieces all around. Right behind a nice park as well.

"The broken hearted are the bravest among us - they dare to love."…read more One of the main reasons I love Paris is how there's a story in every alleyway, around every corner, and in every cobbled stone arrondissement. Ahh Paris... L'amour est comme le vent, nous ne savons pas d'où il vient... Love is like the wind... On my way to Musée Rodin serendipity brought me to Sainte-Clotilde de Paris. A Basilica in the French Gothic Revival style. Simply breathtaking. Located at Square Samuel Rousseau in the 7th arrondissement... the Catholic Basilica overwhelms the small park opened to the public in 1857. The wonderful statue, L'Education maternelle, dedicated in 1875, faces the Basilica. The 226-feet twin spires can be seen from a mile away. And the story of Abbé Bernard Bouveresse, a leader in the French Resistance resonates here. Between the two Gothic towers, a statue of St. Clotilde watches over Paris like a latter day St. Geneviève. In the end, Sainte-Clotilde de Paris is a memorable stop on the way to the more famous landmarks. Not as legendary as Notre-Dame de Paris or as historic as L'église de la Madeleine just across the Seine, but nonetheless a masterpiece of French Gothic Revival... Love is like the wind... Je t'aime!

2.0 kmÎle de la Cité/Île Saint Louis, 1er

I saw a TikTok video about a chapel with beautiful stained glass windows and figured I'd stop in…read more Fortunately, it was a first Sunday so no reservations were needed and no fee to get in. Unfortunately, the line to get in was down the sidewalk since it was still holiday crowds in Paris. It was fairly organized although only one security guard was running up and down the line to monitor. There isn't a ton to see here besides the windows though . It's one downstairs area that has stuff for purchase. The upstairs area is accessed by some narrow winding stairs that lead into a beautiful spacious area surrounded by large stained glass windows. The windows themselves are original and beautifully maintained. I did some research and found they were removed or boarded up to save them from damage during the wars. Photos don't do this place justice. If you have time, it's definitely worth a look.

This place was simply magical and one of the highlights of our Paris trip…read more Make sure you book in advance to gain entry. Even though we initially missed our 1pm entry, we were able to come in at 3pm by the skin of our teeth. When you first come in, there is a ground level gift shop that you can peruse. I got a beautiful felt and sequin ornament and we also picked up a couple of gifts for family as well. Once you make your way to the chapel portion, be prepared to be amazed. My jaw hit the floor as I took in all of the gorgeous stained glass and the way the light filters in and just makes all of the jewel tones sparkle. Once you have your fill of picture taking I do suggest that you relish in the moment and just take it in. Whether or not you are religious, it is worth taking the time to visit and bask in it. I was so glad that we got the opportunity to visit Saint-Chapelle as we were not able to go inside Notre Dame during this visit. The exterior of this chapel in no way can compare to the interior experience.
