Speed-Dating a City, Part Two

Date: 31 August, 2026 (still)

I remember this sculpture from a previous visit, but I can't remember when.
But I must have been past St. Eustache before! Happy memories.

This is the lovely fountain from yesterday. I bought a sond-WHEESH and found one of those wonderful public armchairs and parked my butt and ate my beautiful baguette in the sunshine!

... and then had a glace au mangue, because pouorquoi pas, et bien sûr!

And then just a jolly spot of la dolce far niente, which I am not very good at, but working on!

St Eustache, which I walked past in January and thought Oh rats! - no time to see it! Have to be next visit. So I was very pleased to be able to go, this trip.
If I remember correctly, it is older than Notre-Dame. when I arrived the organ was sounding, and I got very, VERY excited, but unfortunately it was just being tuned, not actually played. I hung around for a while in hopes that he would give it a proper go, but alas, no.

Oh, fun fact, that I just looked up on the internet! - this organ is the largest in France, with 8,000 pipes!

Note to self, GO AGAIN AND HEAR ORGAN BEING PLAYED!
