Sunday Church Series - Église-Saint-Julien-le- Pauvre



This Melkite Greek Catholic parish church is one of Paris' oldest churches, built in the 13th century.  Located behind the Square René Viviani, just across the bridge from Notre Dame, it's not one of Paris' grandest but certainly should be one to put on your list to visit while in Paris.

Sunday Church Series - Église Saint-Julien-le Pauvre



This Gothic church built in the 13th century began as a Roman Catholic church but was granted to the Eastern Catholic Melkite community in 1889.  Just across the Seine from Notre Dame de Paris, it shares the block with the lovely Square René Viviani.  This simple church, by Paris standards, would be a a nice addition to your tour of the larger chrurches and cathedrals in the city.
