Paris and London



 

On this page you will find a few pictures that I took on a trip to Paris and also a few images I took in London. 

 


 

Rather a grey and wintry looking morning in Paris. You can see the cathedral of Notre Dame is in the distance. I went to Paris for a day trip on the train to do some Christmas shopping. It takes about three hours from London.

 


 

 

One of the beautiful stained glass windows in Notre Dame Cathedral.


 

The cathedral was beautifully decorated for Christmas. This lovely nativity scene was attracting lots of visitors. The figure of the baby Jesus is added on Christmas morning.

 


 

The whole of the Champs Elysee from the Louvre museum right down to the Arc de Triomphe was a mass of lights. Each tree had been strung with lights. The street was full of people strolling along admiring the decorations.

 


 

 

About half way down the street there is a roundabout. Each traffic island had been filled with a mass of white 'snow' covered trees lit with tiny lights. It was such a pretty effect.

 


 

Our friend Keiko came with me to Paris. Here she is standing outside the glass pyramid of Louvre. We didn't have time to go inside on this trip.


 

 

 

One place we did find time to visit was the chapel of Sainte-Chapelle, not far from Notre Dame. This gothic church was the private chapel of the French kings. Building was started in 1242 and completed six years later. I hadn't been there before. 

All the walls of the chapel were filled with these deep windows of stained glass. Three-quarters of the glass is the original 13th century glass and the rest has been restored. It was a wonderful sight to see. So beautiful. 

 


 

As is typical of stained glass windows in churches, each panel depicts scenes from the Bible. You can follow individual stories across the panels of a window. 

Most people who visited cathedrals in the past were not able to read and write and so these windows would give them a visual reminder of the Christian stories.

 


 

Back in London. It has become a tradition to have a small fun fair in Leicester square around Christmas. This traditional merry-go-round is always popular with young and old. It always looks so pretty lit up at night.

 

 

 

 

All the animals are hand painted and always look immaculate. I didn't have a go on the ride on the merry-go-round this time, but I have been known to jump on and have a ride in the past.
