The bird market


Every Sunday, on the Ile de la Cité . . .
you'll find the Marché aux Oiseaux.
Kids love it—and, honestly, adults do too.

inSPIREd Sunday

Yes, it's Notre Dame again—this time
from the vantage point of the little garden
behind it.  To be honest, I probably
have enough photos of this classic cathedral
to fill up a month of (inSPIREd) Sundays!

inSPIREd Sunday

I'm taking the meme quite literally today.
Here's the elegant spire of Notre Dame 

cathedral peeking from between 
the buildings on either side of the narrow
rue des Chantres, on the Île de la Cité.

in SPIREd Sunday

The interior of the Sainte Chappelle is so
stunning that it's possible many visitors
don't even bother to photograph the
exterior.  But I think that just the fact that
it was built—by hand—almost 900
years ago makes it spectacular
 inside (come back next week) 
and out.
