For some reason, Chartres is my favorite, but there certainly is an embarassment of riches to choose from!shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-49236123193686123482012-06-25T13:46:50.968-04:002012-06-25T13:46:50.968-04:00Sounds beautiful!Sounds beautiful!Torizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965005679599352165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-13912229760134312712012-06-23T11:06:23.236-04:002012-06-23T11:06:23.236-04:00We did not go in the church while we were there.

I will have to go read through my archives!

The light, the color, the space, what a privilege! I think it is important to tour the chapel at a different time in the day, to really focus on the windows.<br /><br />During one of these Vivaldi concerts I was especially taken with the ensemble of string musicians and their repartee. I had a dream about them that night of such pure bliss that I woke up in a state of euphoria. I've noticed I go into that place when I am in Paris, like every ounce of me is poised for pleasure!<br /><br />It is quite wonderful to revisit these places with you.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-59215943180229012302012-06-20T05:24:46.397-04:002012-06-20T05:24:46.397-04:00What a wonderful Paris trip this has been, taking ...What a wonderful Paris trip this has been, taking in all the sights, smells, the food and atmosphere as well as art and music.<br /><br />You are my kind of tourist, the one who appreciates another culture from their own in depth.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-27982793099388816332012-06-20T00:28:47.919-04:002012-06-20T00:28:47.919-04:00Those windows are something to behold.
