Saint Eustache, l'Escargot, map rue Montorgueil WIP

Saint Eustache is a late Gothic cathedral (1300-1500) at the apex of rue Montmartre and rue Montorgueil.

The height and space are simply mind blowing.

By the way there are free Sunday organ concerts from 5:30 - 6:00 pm.

There are so many gorgeous churches to discover in Paris. I'm just getting going. FYI the big round windows are called 'rose'

Because of the circular rose petal pattern (this one is Notre Dame).

As you come up out of Metro Les Halles at exit Rambeauteau Saint Eustache awaits. Don't miss it.

Some PBers have asked about proper cathedral dress code. Bathing suits and flip flops are out. Scooters are OK.

Turn left up rue Montmartre on Thursdays and Sundays for an outdoor morning marché Saint Eustache.

**** Or turn left onto rue Montorgueil to find L'Escargot and the best snails in the city in at four different flavors (curry, roquefort, traditional butter, parsley and garlic).

A lovely 19th century interior.

I walked in early with no reservation and ordered the formule for 17,50.

If you're going to draw escargot, you've got to eat them. And they are delicious. It's mostly garlicy, buttery, parsleyed sauce on toast points or 'soldiers'. Ooops I forgot to upload the snails!

Moving right along on the August map. The print shop finally opens tomorrow after their summer vacation. I'll be burning the midnight oil tonight.

Have you hung any of your

Paris Maps on the wall?

Do take a photo and EMAIL IT TO ME.
I'll put them in the sidebar on the blog.
Cheers from Paris!
