The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière is a minor basilica in Lyon. It was built with private funds in a dominating position on a hill looking over the city.
Fourvière is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, who saved the city of Lyon from a cholera epidemic sweeping Europe in 1643.
During the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871), Prussian forces, having taken Paris, were progressing south towards Lyon. Their halt and retreat were, once again, attributed by the Church to the intercession of the Virgin Mary.
Fourvière actually contains two churches, one on top of the other. The upper sanctuary is very ornate, while the lower is a much simpler design. Work on the triumphant basilica was begun in 1872 and finished in 1884. Finishing touches in the interior were not completed until 1964.
This is more or less what the ceiling fan in my bedroom looks like to me first thing in the morning before I am fully awake and before I put my glasses on.

Abstracts are not popular by and large but, I am always looking for them. I saw this while my wife and I were having coffee.
Ceiling of the same (pre)entrance* of the bank from the previous shots...
* I struggled between 'hall' and 'vestibule' but neither sounded right. Other architectural term suggestions?
HAPPY SUNDAY!
