Somehow simultaneously, delicate and massive! I feel the weight of these stones in every photo.

Wow.

Is one of my favorite places in Paris. I always go there for the artists and a meal if I can.

I heard the Monteverdi 1610 Vespers performed live in the basilica many years ago. One of my fondest memories of Paris.

than my friends and hung out there waiting for the tower to open in Sacre-Couer.

The rest of the area is very touristic. Somehow that square isn't so bad in the mornings anyway.
