A uniquely designed place of worship

We stopped at the base of Sacre Coeur to find a quiet place to call home and see how our daughter was doing. Of course, she was more interested in what her Nana and Poppa were going to take her to do that day than worrying about Mommy and Daddy being gone. We were so easily replaced...How loved did we feel?

In the section of Montmartre where we stopped to call home, across the street was the Pariosse catholique Sainte Jean de Montmartre. Unlike many churches we had seen which where stone faced, Sainte Jean de Montmartre wash brick and tile covered.

The inside was a little darker than average but it was as beautiful as the others. The tile on the outside formed a stunning look that is uniquely Montmartre, which is considered the black sheep of the arrondissements of Paris. Its a little seedier than your average Paris area.

Unfortuately, I'm not a good enough a photographer to capture the beauty of this church but hopefully I do some justice to the stunning uniqueness of this place.

Outside the church was a tile plaque listing those who had died from this parish in WWI. This is something that nearly every church we visited had.

Paris is a city that does not forget those who tragically left too early.
