I would visit it again and again to experience that moment of breath-taking awe I feel when I reach the top of the narrow stone spiral stairs that lead to the chapel. "Oh my God!" I whisper as I remind myself that I need to keep moving into the room; there are others behind me on the stairs. Staring with mouth open at the magnificent stained glass windows, I lose track of time and place. This moment is # 6 on my list of 25 favorite things about Paris and Provence
