A Year in Pictures – Undercroft of Ste. Chapelle

This is the lower level of Sainte-Chapelle in Paris — the church that’s still (or rather, re-)painted in the style of the medieval period. The effect is really just stunning: the same gothic architecture you see all over western Europe, but picked out in blue and gold and red. As much as I like the plain stone, the original look is really phenomenal to see.
