The business end of the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica, not to be confused with St. Louis Cathedral, which is in New Orleans. The style is not Baroque; the overwhelming detail of its decoration comes from mosaics, not painted putti and saints. It is a far cry from the spare and elegant cathedral in Evry, France, which was introduced to us by our friend and colleague, Olivier Perrin. Both churches were built in the 20th Century and reflect very different esthetics.
Breathtaking!
