The Sainte Chapdle^ in the south court of the Palais
de Justice (fortunately not burned with that edifice in
187 1 ), is the most beautiful example of Gothic in all
Paris. It was built in the 12th century, and has lately
been restored at an expense of more than a million of
francs. The great windows are all filled with the old
stained glass, remarkable for the richness and brill-
iancy of its colors.
Other churches of note are St. Germain-des-Prrfs,
St. Gervais, Notre Dame de Lorette, St. Vincent de
Paul, St. Sulpice, St. foienne du Mont, St. Merri, St
Augustin, La Sorbonne, Le Val-de-Grace, La Trinity,
la Chapelle Expiatoir^, the Russian Church, etc.
Palaces. The LOuvre is remarkable for its vast
extent and for the magnificence of its architecture, but
far more for the priceless art treasures that it holds.
