Saint-Dénis.

Saint-Dénis is a banlieue (suburb) on the northern edge of Paris, but it has a long, rich history.

Today, it has a lively market. This picture was taken after Richard and I broke free from the crowds. There were times we literally couldn’t move.

This is the only picture that I took of a stained glass window that actually came out pretty good. One out of many dozens of pictures of the seemingly unending list of cathédrals, églises and basiliques that I was in; not a very good percentage ratio.

The Cathédral of Saint-Dénis is where all the French kings and queens and dukes and dutchesses and marquis and (ad naseum)…are buried.

One of my favorite cathedrals for the incredible number of dead people in it and the beauty of some of the mausoleums. (Saint Denis)
