Paris - St. Sulpice Church

  (St Sulpice Organ - affiliate link. You can hear more on Amazon.)
We were up early enough today to get to the Sunday Mass at St. Sulpice. The organ is incredible so I really wanted Tina to hear it.  The public is also allowed to climb the narrow winding staircase (50 steps) to the area where the organist plays and I knew that she would like that.  It was well worth the climb and here are some views of the action for you.

The front of St. Sulpice.

The trees around the courtyard were in bloom.

Looking from the front of the church across the courtyard.

The pavement was old cobblestone.

The front area had three Delacroix paintings.
Two were on the walls and one was on the ceiling.

Another one of the wall Delacroix paintings.

steps to the Delacroix that leads up the
winding staircase to the organ.
