Opera Garnier and Eglise de la Madeleine

At 14.00, I went to the Opera Garnier for a look at the ornate interior, including the auditorium.
At 16.00, I went to the Eglise de la Madeleine for a recital by the Canadian, Alexander Straus-Fausto. on the Cavaille-Coll organ. It was compered so took longer than expected and therefore I only reached St Eustache via the large Metro station at Chatelet at the end of the 17.00 Sunday organ recital.
The church doors aren't closed for organ recitals in Paris so visitors and staff walk around during the recitals unlike recitals at Westminster Abbey and Cathedral.
I had a good French dinner at Chez Denise across the park from St Eustache. I had foie gras de canard, foie de veau, ille flotante and a mirabelle digestif plus a nice chat with a couple from Orlando.Baca lagi
