Saint Chapelle

 Saint Chapelle is a royal chapel within the medieval Palais de la Cite, the residence of the kings of France until the 14th century.

The chapel is a short distance west of Notre Dame on the Ole de la Cite on the River Seine.  Construction began in 1238.  The blue stained glass is nearly overwhelming.

Notre Dame

 The gleaming, clean, restored Cathedral de Notre Dame.

On this trip, I am often deciding that no words are needed.

Louvre

When noted architect I.M.Pei proposed a glass pyramid for the courtyard in front of the Louvre, I thought it was outrageous and sacrilegious.  Now it is one of my favorite scenes in Paris, especially at night.

The monthly theme for City Daily Photo participants for October is "glass."
