We have breakfast in the apartment. Nice loaf of bread obtained by Fred before I even woke up! Ah, we have Nespresso coffee, albeit in too-large cups; the "long" setting on the machine doesn't quite seem like it puts out a double cup. It promises to be another sunny mild day.
We stop by St. Eustache, a late Gothic style church which started building in 1532 and took over 90 years. Loretta is working on a theory where the earlier the church was started, the longer it took to complete. The interior is nicely painted in a highly decorative style. One of the churches we visited, probably not this one, had a side chapel dedicated to the deported French citizens of WWII that touched Loretta a little bit. The organ in this church is one of Paris' largest with over 700 pipes. We are sad we won't be there for any recitals.
