This striking window is in one of the oldest churches in Paris, St-Pierre de Montmartre. The church is all that remains of the Benedictine Abbey of Montmartre founded in 1133 by Louis VI and his wife, Adelaide of Savoy.
Four marble columns in the church are reputed to be the remains of a Roman temple which occupied the same site.
The windows are modern as the original Gothic stained glass was destroyed by a bomb during World War II.
