The plaques on the walls of this side chapel of Notre-Dame church are thank you plaques or ex-votos.

    I've never seen thank plaques quite like this (just slightly more makeshift versions here). Lovely glimpse into a corner of Notre-Dame, and another lovely photo of course!:)

    Ils sont tres sobres les tiens! Ici, il y a des objets, des photos , souvent des tableaux representant des scenes de malheur dont les protagonistes ont été sauvés. c'est toute une "ecole" de peinture d'un style bien particulier, plus exuberant que ces plaques tres sages.

    Very nice. I like the framing on this...rather than shooting it straight on you included the angel and both walls.

    I wasn't aware the plaques were called this. It's a beautiful place to give thanks.

    Interesting. I definitely like the angel. We all need an angel once in awhile. :)

    How very interesting. I don't remember seeing this ever. Love the weathered wall below as well as the beautiful benches.
