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.]

  1. 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.

    I've only just twigged (with my limited French) that Quinze vingt is 15x20=300!
