This is my second attempt at a Topic posting--the first (#1) was erroneously posted in the Main Discussion section, for which I apologize.
Between tours I had a free day in Paris, France in 2015 and decided to check out a church located just a short distance from my hotel (Crowne Plaza République), and I walked down to it. The first time I did, it was not open, so I just got a couple of exterior shots. I tried again the next day, found it open, and took pictures inside. So here are a few photos of the Eglise Saint Ambroise.
The exterior

It's a lovely little church--I recommend a visit to it.
