Eglise Saint Gervais
Visited this remarkable building – one of the oldest in Paris.
Basilique Saint-Denis
A visit of the “Basilique Saint-Denis’ was also squeezed in at some point over the past week: and these are some images of that visit. It’s quite a stunning space to visit – a museum of an age long past where religion and monarchy very much defined what it meant to be “French’. Today the…
St Etienne-du-Mont
Now, these images are a bit hazy, but for ‘record keeping’s’ sake – for the record – I’ll just post these images from St. Etienne du Mont, also visited earlier over the course of the past week. It’s famous for containing what are believed to be the relics of Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of…

Le Soleil!
Mild sun rays kissed the Seine today, giving slight glimpses of Spring, which is around the corner.
Oh… about the studies in Paris…:-)
Phenomenal day in Paris – left home for lectures at 730 am in the morning, only to return home at 2200! If there is one thing that the French education system provides, it’s excellent training in rigour and hard work! For those up to the challenge of studying in a challenging – but rewarding context…
