As you can see, the side chapels have a lot going on. There are statues, there are individual paintings, and there are paintings on the walls and ceilings.

This lovely lady is wood, so I don’t know how she fared.

I know it seems silly, but you have to appreciate that even the floor vents are beautiful.

Notre Dame de Paris
Yes, this is from the exterior, but it has my favorite statue in it: St. Denis holding his head. St. Denis is one of the two patron saints of Paris and the legend goes that after he was beheaded for his faith he picked up his head and carried it to the location of what is now the Basilica de St. Denis and then gave a sermon before finally dying. Truly, the first talking head!
Thank you so much Luthe, do send us more when you can.
