St. Chapelle

Just a couple of short blocks away from the famed Notre Dame in Paris, is a small but exquisitely beautiful church.  I've rarely seen such rich, vibrant colors.  The entire thing is made to look as though it were made of nothing but stained glass.  Every column and statue and carving is painted and gilded.

Here we have the lower chapel (also known as the gift shop) -- soon I will be posting shots of the glorious upper chapel.
