It's nice to join in with normal Paris life and occasionally to meet the locals (who are always very friendly - just like you, Eric).<br /><br />One of the many interesting things about this fascinating Gothic church is its very attractive Classical facade (added later) which incorporates all three orders of Classical columns, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian.<br /><br />Just one of the little snippets of Paris info that I drop into the conversation when trying to impress people!Drummondnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-86180521240381179992009-08-17T18:52:28.964+02:002009-08-17T18:52:28.964+02:00Hi,Eric,

There is at least 1 standing in the Marais with a big plaque that discusses this. I remember seeing it when going to visit the tour Jean sans peur, a remaining medieval monument in the Marais. You should check it out, Eric--the ceiling of the spiral staircase would make an excellent photo! It's on Etienne-Marcel, I believe.<br /><br />I also remember dining in a little Italian place near St. Michel that still had medieval beams, but the outside was covered as well.
