 Gothic Iron by ExGuyParis
This place is a bit worse for the wear; there is now a net across the inside of the dome to catch falling pieces of the structure. Parts of the exterior stone fa?ade are wasting away. There are pieces of stained glass missing here and there. I hope someone will recognize the treasure this is and start a restoration project.
I really like this church; it captures the industrial spirit of the age, and offers a quiet escape from the bustle of Paris.
46, bd. Malesherbes

 Saint Jeanne d'Arc by ExGuyParis
The sky was a remarkable color this day; the picture was taken at noon. As you visit Paris, appreciate the sky, the clouds, the light... all the buildings and monuments interact with the sky and light in an ever-changing display. Leave a Comment

 St. Augustin, Paris by Erin74
Emperor Napoleon III ordered the construction of St. Augustin in the the late 1800s. Its architect, Victor Baltard was known for constructing buildings from iron (most notably Les Halles) and he decided to continue that trend with St. Augustin. The entire framework is built of iron and covered with stone. You can see the iron braces in the church's ceiling.
St. Augustin is nearly 100 meters high and the dome rises 84 meters above the ground level. Inside, the church has a number of small sanctuaries devoted to various saints (there's a nice tribute to St. Anthony and St. Theresa). Many of these sanctuaries display drawings from local schoolchildren, which is a nice touch I didn't see in other churches in Paris.
The church is dedicated to St. Augustin, who was born in Algeria and later baptized in Milan, Italy. He was devoted to preaching the message of St. Ambrose: God only can be the response to the search for truth.
St Augstin is located at:
