Few people visit the Saint Augustin Church (8th arrondissement) although it is a magnificent building. It was built between 1860 to 1871 upon plans drawn by Victor-Louis Baltard and was the first church, in Paris, to use a metal structure covered with stone. It is also known for its organ, one of the first to be powered by electricity.
Thank you for this idea ! I'll visit it as soon as possible :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd it's known because of Loïc Lemeur living near it :)
ReplyDeletelooks like you got these grey skies too eric!

Nice. Love the red moving thru the center of all the hazy-grey. Would love to visit someday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, I don't think I have seen this church before!
ReplyDeletePS: artificial flowers, electric organs (are you trying to tell us something here Eric?). ;-)

I missed this one when I was there. But, I showed your site to The Missus, and we both agreed that we'll study all your posts before going back.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I've been by this church a thousand times, but have never been inside. I like the story of the stone roof.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog from a friend at work. I can not believe I missed going inside of this church when I was there. I love old organs so it would have been nice to see. I think this is near the famous crystal maker (forget the name) if I have my directions correct?
ReplyDeletej'aime beaucoup la composition de cette photo. L'eglise est comme une apparition derrière les feux... Ou encore les feux rouges semblent être des décalcomanies collées sur la photo.
ReplyDeleteHi Eric - I love the contrast of the grey, black white and red.
ReplyDeleteI love the line of red lights in the foreground on this shot, especially since they are slightly off centre. This breaks up the symitery of the photo perfectley.
ReplyDelete…and you'll certainly be glad to discover a little exhibition on Charles de Foucauld for it is in this church that he converted in 1886 !
ReplyDeleteThanks, nice photo.
ReplyDelete1860-1871
En 1866 où mon écrivain favorit est né, Romain Rolland. L'oeuvre que j'aime le plus est "Jean Christophe". Cela me fait toujours avoir la pêche quand j'ai de la tristesse ; la vie, c'est de continuer à combattre, c'est à dire, continuer à se tourmenter...
Cet église est encore là et elle a encore de l'influence sur nous, bien qu'ils sont déjà morts, ceux qui l'ont construite.
Euh...
> Karashi : je n'ai pas compris. Quel est le rapport avec R.Rolland ? Je suis justement en train de lire "Jean-Christophe". Passionnant en effet. Des très belles pages, notamment sur l'amitié, entre Christophe et Olivier. Et une peinture sans concession -mais encore très actuelle- de la société française…
ReplyDelete> gg : pardon, cet église n'a aucun rapport avec R.Rolland. Cettte année (186*) m'a justement rappelé son nom.
ReplyDeleteBon, êtes-vous en train de lire "Jean-Christophe"? :) Cela deviendra plus intéressant après que l'on aura ajouté "St." à son nom à la fin de l'histoire, je crois.
> Karashi : … à la vitesse à laquelle je lis, il n'est pas prêt d'être béatifié, le pauvre !
ReplyDeleteI never visited this one. I put it on my list to things to see when I come to Paris. Thanks for letting us know :)
ReplyDeleteI love churches, are there other churches in Paris ?
ReplyDeleteFuji
Fuji-
ReplyDelete"Are there other churches in Paris?" Um, yeah. One or two!
> Marie. You're welcome!
ReplyDelete> Yannick. Yes and I am told they are going to rename the church St Bloïc but you cannot believe everything you're told...
>Dean. Yes, alas... But we have no sea here!
> Sandig, Anna, Bob, Mr Pretzels, Krashi. Thank you, I try to do my best!
> Manuel (San Francisco). LOL (Private joke)
> Fred. Excellent idea!
> Michael. I know, it's crazy, nobody ever visits it!
> GG. Thank you, you always bring this cultural information that enriches this blog. (To be honest I never heard about "Jean-Christophe")
> Karine. You're welcome. Do so, it's worth it.
> Fuji. There are more than a hundred churches in Paris. You will need several weeks to visit them all!
Quelle érudition. Je n'avais à ce jour jamais entendu parler d'un Jean-Christophe par Romain Rolland !
> Buzzgirl. LOL!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful church!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful church. What strikes me about this picture is the bright red light in contrast to the grey surroundings.
ReplyDeleteAnother great photo Eric, I love the way it appears black and white apart from the traffic light.
ReplyDeleteEric, I spent my first year in Paris (1967-68!)on the rue Lavoisier à 2 pas de l'Eglise St. Augustin. Was recently reminiscing about those days and realized I never set foot in the church, nor the nearby Madeline. Ce sera pour une prochaine visite.
ReplyDeleteNearby is the Square Louis XIV with a monument to the monarch where couples seemed to congregate for lunch-hour snogging. Wonder if that's still true.
Great site! Mary in MN
