Ben stands in front the fantastic Sacré-Cœur (Sacred Heart) Basilica atop the hill of butte Montmarte, the highest point in Paris. Inside above the altar is probably the most glorious mosaic I have ever seen. Photos were not allowed, so to see the mosaic of Christ try this panoramic link http://www.panoramas.dk/fullscreen5/f13-sacre-coeur.html and click and drag to pan around.

Ben found one of his favorite sculptures in Notre-Dame Cathedral, a monument to Henri d'Harcourt by Baptiste Pigalle in the Chapelle of St. Guillaume. His favorite piece is (obviously) the death-like figure in the cloak looking over the body.
