Notre Dame, the most famous church in Paris, has an interesting history. Joan of Arc was tried there. Victor Hugo wrote "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." We appreciated a saying posted in the church : "J'ai une eglise dans ma vie!" "I have a church in my life!"
The enormous sight-seeing crowds made the visit a bit uncomfortable. Still we're glad we saw it.
There is such interesting detail to Notre Dame. Gargoyles, saints, stained glass...

We left Notre Dame and explored the surrounding region. Bookstalls line the Seine river. Many books sold are old classic literature. It was fascinating.
We stumbled onto the church of St. Severin. Very few people were in there, unlike Notre Dame. We enjoyed the beautiful lines of the columns.

After taking this photo I engaged in a long conversation with this dear French woman. Her heart had a hunger for God and righteousness. I held hands and prayed for her as we parted. As I talked with a couple people in France, I sensed a strong desire for spiritual things.
