….subway stations around featuring a statue of a saint, I’d imagine.
Sorry the pictures are terrible. Really. But it’s St. Denis, holding his head – at the Metro stop for his marvelous Basilica, a fitting place to end a month of attempting to roadschool French history..a place to revisit architecture, religious history, the monarchy and the Terror, all in one place…
More tomorrow…







The metro stop for St. Stephen’s cathedral in Vienna, Austria has this cool window where you can look down into an archaelogical dig below the cathedral to the original church built, IIRC, in the 7th century.
