In the summer of 2012, I travelled with 20 artists to Provence, France for a 15 day painting trip. The last 3 days were spent in Paris where we conquered the Paris Metro. Uniformed, armed soldiers patrolled the underground maze; so when I came across this group of nuns waiting for the train in Abbesses, I couldn't resist taking a picture of them in their crisp white habits. Such an unlikely place to find them! Here in the U.S. we don't see our nuns wearing their traditional attire. Refreshing.
