Église Saint-Vincent-de-Paul de Paris
The impressive façade of this church sits atop a hill in the 10ème arrondissement
with a broad entrance at Place Franz-Liszt.
Completed in 1844 by Jacques Hittorff, there are a series of ramps
which were originally designed to aid access by horse-drawn carriages.
Today, there are a series of gardens leading up to the front steps.
Seen above the portico is a pediment sculpted by Charles-François Leboeuf-Nanteuil
on the glorification of Saint Vincent-de-Paul.
He is seen surrounded by figures symbolizing his saintly actions.
We arrived just as the doors were closing at noon and so we left to return later,
just as I will bring you back here soon
to see the inside of this large church and the treasures it holds.
