Across the Seine today to visit St Sulpice, Paris’ largest church, and St Germain-des-Pres, one of the city’s oldest dating back to the 8th century. Both churches are justly famous for their pipe organs. St Germain-des-Pres is a riot of stenciling and polychrome. We happened upon an almost perfect bistro across from a clothing store named Hartford. We ended the afternoon in the Luxembourg gardens, planted with primroses, pansies, poppies, and daffodils…all bursting into bloom. It is spring in the city as hellebores blossom and trees bud…the sun has been a welcome gift.
