We have walked by this church countless times during our visits to Paris and the Left Bank, but never stopped in so it was on our itinerary for this visit. Saint-Severin is one of the oldest churches on the Left Bank, with construction started in the 1200s; after a fire it was enlarged in the 1400s-1600s in a style called Flamboyant Gothic, which may be an extension of the typical Gothic style often seen in churches. On this rainy Sunday afternoon, we stopped by to take a look. A bit on the dark side, since the natural light was tempered by the clouds outside. Looking up the center aisle from the back of the church, and above, you see many arched ribs. Very interesting!! We walked around the side aisles to look at the various chapels with their statuary, murals and paintings, stained glass, and altars. The stained glass windows are beautiful! The oldest dates back to the 1370s; the newest date from the late 1960s. Love the modern windows! These old churches are something to behold!
