Saint-Antoine-des-Quinze-Vingts


This Paris church is relatively young—it was
built in the neogothic style and completed
in 1903.  I've featured it here before.

[Linking back to The Weekend in Black and White,
Shadow Shot Sunday, and inSPIREd Sunday.]

    Great chiaroscuro.

    It looks like the 300 of “Quinze-Vingts” is from the 300-bed hospital founded by Louis IX (St. Louis) in 1260.

    I am also guessing (just a guess) that you were here with Genie who had an organ piece played in this church posted at her blog.

    Beautiful B&W photo.
    I've only just twigged (with my limited French) that Quinze vingt is 15x20=300!
