"Oh, thou who burn'st in heart for those who burn
In Hell, whose fires thyself shall feed in turn;
How long be crying—'Mercy on them.' God!
Why, who art thou to teach and He to learn?"
From "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam", the 1859 translation by Edward FitzGerald from Persian to English of poetry attributed to the Persian "astronomer-poet" Omar Khayyam (1048-1131).

This story is very clearly set in Paris, yet there is no Church of St. Barnabé in Paris that I could identify. Perhaps there used to be a hundred years ago and it is gone now?
I am always extremely annoyed when an author feels the need to blank out a name, be it of a place or a person. Why? It's fiction! Just come up with whatever name to plug in there. "Monseigneur C--" indeed. What are us narrators supposed to do with that? What bullocks!
atelier = private workshop or studio of a professional artist in the fine or decorative arts or an architect.
The pictures used is of Église de la Sainte-Trinité de Paris, first published by the Detroit Publishing Company's Catalogue J, foreign section, in Detroit, Mich. 1905.
In the absence of an actual Church of St. Barnabé in Paris, I just used another Parisian Church as a substitute.
