Saint-Nicolas-du-ChardonnetRue des Bernardins, Paris
The Church of St. Nicolas is one of the spots I'll be visiting when I tour France this October.
In the 19th century the place was formerlyh home to the Abbé Félix Dupanloup, who reconciled the renowned diplomat (and notoriously amoral) Talleyrand (Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord) with the Church on his deathbed in 1838. Later Dupanloup gave a moving panegyric on St. Joan of Arc that aroused popular sentiment in both France and England and played a role in her canonization in 1920.
