APRIL IN PARIS ST. SULPICE, LUXEMBURG GARDENS

Every Sunday after the 10:30 mass there is a 25 minute organ recital. You can also climb the 50 stairs and visit the organist while he gives the concert. They allow about 15 people at a time up there. The 10:30 Mass was very nice. The cantor had a beautiful voice and I was able to follow some of the responses. Those I couldn't I just responded in English. After the Mass, Ladee and Tina went upto the organ loft while I wondered around the church. When they were finished we went across the street to Cafe de la Marie for brunch. I had an omelette complete(ham, cheese, and potatoes), a glass of wine and a carafe of water. Next stop was Luxemburg gardens. Beautiful place. We sat in the shade and people watched. It seemed like all of Paris was enjoying the beautiful day. St. Sulpice
