Église Notre Dame de Lorette - l'orgue

 

 

Église Notre Dame de Lorette

 

 

Église Notre Dame de Lorette is a neoclassical church

built by architect Louis-Hippolyte Lebas

between 1823 and 1836 in the 9th arrondissement.

 

 

It contains the first organ built by the great organ builder

Aristide Cavaillé-Coll (1811–1899). 

Composer Cesar Franck became the assistant organist here in 1947

and was married in this church as well.

 

 

For another view of the interior and an interesting story,

The construction of this grand church was started in 1823 under the reign of Louis XVIII and was completed in 1836 under Louis-Philippe.  The elaborate murals were painted directly on the walls and one can see sections which are being restored.  Considered too modern, too bright with gas lighting, the walls are entirely covered with designs and painting.

Signe étrange

I have seen this sign only once or twice in Paris, but love the sense of humor.

No left turn!

or... does it say, "Don't bend the Eiffel Tower!"

This is one of many designs of Clet Abraham,

who places his artistic, non-destructive stickers on signs around Europe.

(Thanks, Rob and Mandy for the information)
