This version of the church was first built in 1740, but the parish dates back to when this street was a village outside of Paris. (We’re in the heart of Paris, by the way.)

<\/center><\/p>\nI have occasionally made the “last train out of Paris” joke. We were on the last train out for the night:<\/p>\n
<\/center><\/p>\nA cut of lamb I had for dinner on the train. The server pronounced it for me several times. I wrote it down phonetically. I have no idea how you really spell it, though, so I’ll keep it to myself. Point being, I had dinner on a train.<\/p>\n
