Sacred spaces

Saint Chapelle in Paris is a museum now, but once it was the place of worship for kings. It was built by Louis IX to house holy relics including what was believed to be the crown of thorns worn by Jesus on the cross.

The crown has been moved to a safer location, there are no more French kings and worship services are not held here anymore. You can still feel the echoes, even full of tourists there is a higher presence

This is the art that inspired William Morris and Gothic Revival

@mortange. / paris, 1790.

'chaos' was a paltry word for paris these days. the anniversary of the bastille's storming — now declared the fête de la fédération — loomed close on the horizon, but under the patriotic zeal and merriment, hunger still bit as fiercely as it had two years ago. even arno couldn't help but notice it in the patrons of the café. wine, compared to bread, was cheap, and it dulled the pangs of hunger — and so they came, and they drank, and they pretended life wasn't misery.

among them all, this stranger stood out. he'd come once or twice before, and never, at least within in arno's sight, had he touched a single drop of wine. it was enough to pique the assassin's interest. under the pretence of wiping the table down, he approached, and, with forced cheerfulness, he asked, "sure i can't fetch anything for you, citoyen?"

Le Pont Neuf, Paris, France: The Pont Neuf is the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine in Paris, France. It stands by the western point of the Île de la Cité, the island in the middle of the river that was, between 250 and 225 BC, the birthplace of Paris, then known as Lutetia and, during the medieval period, the heart of the city. Wikipedia

If I don’t post a photo while having lunch under this willow tree at the tip of île de la cité every time I am ever in Paris, assume I fell off Pont Neuf on the way
