One of my favorite landmarks in Paris -- usually where I ask my Parisian friends to meet me when we get together because everyone knows it (and I usually stay close by in Montourgeuil).StyleSpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09032983147859861793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-26151159654450670222009-12-31T04:46:45.121-06:002009-12-31T04:46:45.121-06:00Jolie!!!Jolie!!!Shell Sherreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00477843748741838608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-59596039394470453152009-12-30T22:27:03.373-06:002009-12-30T22:27:03.373-06:00Anne,

Even at the dome of the Sacre Coeur, there were words scratched into the walls etc. <br /><br />Louis,<br />INteresting info on the church. We went inside and it is lovely although not as grand as I remembered Notre Dame. Maybe I'll get back there this trip. I found all the churches in France special in their own way, whether large or small. I think it's sad that they aren't used as places of worship as they should be.<br />VVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-38509190429627423722009-12-30T12:25:10.698-06:002009-12-30T12:25:10.698-06:00We (friend and I) love this and the area where you...We (friend and I) love this and the area where you can just sit and look at the church. <br /><br />But we were a bit annoyed by the graffiti on it.Anne in Oxfordshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479380647784781207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-43263169216781996602009-12-30T09:50:36.630-06:002009-12-30T09:50:36.630-06:00BTW - Saint-Eustache is the church where the funer...BTW - <i>Saint-Eustache</i> is the church where the funeral for Mozart's mother was held, in case you don't know the story...<br /><br />Because of its proximity to <i>le Louvre</i>, when <i>le Louvre</i> was the center of government (obviously before becoming <i>le musée celebré</i>, <i>Saint-Eustache</i> was the church attended by the royals and government ministers. Also, because of its location next to <i>les Halles</i>, it was the church attended by provisioners who had prospered at <i>les Halles</i>, so it was the largest and wealthiest parish in Paris, more so even than <i>Nôtre-Dame</i>. That it was a prosperous parish speaks to why this church is larger in size than <i>Nôtre-Dame</i>.Louis la Vachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039777863022193315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-13461812943679528462009-12-30T09:44:31.373-06:002009-12-30T09:44:31.373-06:00Quelle bonne chance!<i>Quelle bonne chance!</i>Louis la Vachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039777863022193315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-76504118374184957392009-12-30T09:26:49.644-06:002009-12-30T09:26:49.644-06:00Perfect as you say.
