The subtle charm of the French baroque

Made while going by bus from Paris, still filled with all the crazy baroque building, bridges and churches (the churches tend to be Gothic though). We don't have that elaborate buildings in Sweden from this era, our baroque went through first a dutch filter and then through a poverty filter. Mark that the French tend not to use so much pig themes as I do.

    Like on the cloister of Toul's cathedral.
