the churches in Paris are too inspiring to limit to one photo … please click on the photo below to open the blog for viewing the seven photos in this post. Eglise Saint Merri 76 Rue de la Verrerie Paris, France May 2019 … opened in 1690 French Gothic architecture serves as a parish church, cultural center , gallery and concert venue … some restoration in progress but that is true of almost every church in Paris. did not see any pews just these small chairs and a few benches in all the churches I visited.
