WEDNESDAY WWWs : PARIS IN JULY 2.7.14

Welcome to Wednesdays as hosted at MizB's  Today I'm focusing on the final of the 3 reading questions ~ What do I think I'll read next...? I discovered the Paris in July challenge and I'm jumping in! So I'm searching my TBR galleys for Paris/French related topics that will develop my participation accordingly. This challenge covers any French related genre, and welcomes  fiction to photos to food! Here's this week's outline ~ *

* For me, living in an English/French bilingual country there is a lot available by way of   books, locale, promenades, patisseries, bistros, museums, history - 

and that's just in the French quarter of my own city! * Here's my local contribution for Tuesday Travels ~ *

Saint Boniface, the first permanent mission west of the Great Lakes, became the heart of Roman Catholic missionary activity extending to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, as well as serving the growing population of the Red River Settlement.

Five cathedrals have stood on this beautiful location overlooking the river. In 1832, Bishop Provencher erected a cathedral surmounted by twin spires, and in 1862 a stone cathedral was built under the direction of Bishop Taché. On August 15, 1906, Archbishop Langevin blessed the cornerstone of what became one of the most imposing churches in Western Canada. It was designed by the Montreal architectural firm of Marchand and Haskell. This structure, the best example of French Romanesque architecture in Manitoba, was ravaged by fire on July 22, 1968.

The present cathedral was designed by Franco-Manitoba architect Étienne Gaboury. It incorporates the sacristy, façade and walls of the former basilica.
