A Pause for Beauty and Creativity in Paris



By Norma Hopcraft


I urge you to take a moment to bathe in stained glass beauty. 

The walls of St. Chapelle in Paris are mostly made of glass! It's an architectural feat by the French who pulled this off in 1248. 

If the wall isn't made of glass, it's stenciled with all kinds of designs in gilt paint (a detailed photo below).

Saint Chapelle is breathtaking. 

What places, either man-made or in nature, have you been in that you thought were exquisite? Please comment below and share it with all of us so we can explore it too!

Now I'll let you enjoy St. Chapelle in peace:

  1. Hi Norma, I was looking through the course offerings at WAB and saw your romance writing class. I'm a local romance writer who runs a romance writing group called AURA and thought you might want to connect :) amy@amygamet.com
