This is really the Rose Window in Notre Dame cathedral, but the photo is better than the one I have of the Rose Window in Saint Chappelle, so I'm showing you this one instead.
Look at the intricacy of the stained glass!
Here's the view of the apse in Saint Chappelle. It's a very small chapel, built by Louis XV.
Tonight we attended a concert in Saint Chappelle, my favorite chapel in the whole world. The walls are almost completely glass, in tall Gothic arches, with Bible stories in stained glass all around. We heard Vivaldi's "Four Seasons", which Grace particularly enjoyed, since she learned a bit of it last year on her violin. Like your life, our sometimes stressful life on the road is punctuated by bright moments of beauty. Tonight was one of those moments.
Wow. Vivaldi in Saint Chappelle. I'm jealous.
