Late one afternoon, we wandered into the Église Saint-Merri and found this group practicing for an upcoming concert.

About Me

- Birmingham, AL, United States
- I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

What a magnificent venue for a concert V.
A Peaceful Sunday !
What a beautiful church!
Best wishes for a peaceful 3. Advent Sunday, Virginia.
And warmest greetings from the Périgord, karin
I can imagine the acoustics would be amazing ...and what a wonderful name for a church - Église Saint-Merri.
Sometimes a chance happening becomes a cherished memory. Love travel...and your pictures
Timing is everything sometimes and yours was perfect!
Bravo, V de B!
Nice shot V!!! And I love your banner photo!!!
Beautiful church! I love the lighting on both sides of the church, so pretty!
lovely peaceful shot with a quite animated conductor! Had to look twice because I thought it was one of 'our' choirs... but I don't even know this beautiful church!
Happy ending of this 3rd advent.
Aaaah, music in the churches—one of my most favorite things about Paris. This is lovely, V!
What fabulous good fortune! And what a magnificent place. The voices likely sounded divine?.. Of course. :)
This looks like a lovely discovery.
As we tour churches looking at the architecture and the stained-glass windows, it's easy to forget that they serve another purpose. What fun to stumble upon a choir.
Oh, to sing praises in such a house of worship! Beautiful photo!!

I love this church. What a treat to find a practice in progress!
I have been to many concerts in the various churches in France. Sometimes the acoustics are good, and sometimes, not so good.
