Visiting the patron saint of Paris

In the church of Saint Étienne du Mont rests Sainte Geneviève, or at least there is a shrine in her honour. She is the patron saint of Paris, who rescued the city more than once of several disasters. Now that I am about to move to Paris, I thought it time to pay my respects. The beautiful church of Saint Étienne du Mont lies a bit hidden behind the Panthéon in the fifth arrondissement of Paris. Although it is not that difficult to find, most tourists don't bother to visit it. And that's a missed opportunity. The church has beautiful details, stained-glass windows, and of course, the shrine of Sainte Geneviève.

I had a nice talk with Sainte Geneviève after a short pilgrimmage from the metro stop through the pouring rain. I spend some time with her, and left the church to be greeted by a careful ray of sunlight. She already was watching over me, and to celebrate I had a good Tartare du Boeuf afterwards
