Nightlife Spot: Walking Around
“Yesterday’s concert was a success. I hasten to let you know, I informed your Lordship that I was not a bit nervous and played as I play when I am alone. It went well... and I had to come back and bow four times.”
— Frédéric Chopin (1810-49)
Église Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre (Church of Saint Julian the Poor) is a Melkite Greek Catholic parish church, and one of Paris’s oldest. Built in the Gothic style during the 12th century, it was originally a Roman Catholic church but it was granted to the Eastern Catholic Melkite community in 1889.
The church’s dedication to the Mediaeval French saint, Julian of Le Mans recognizes his championship of the cause of the poor; his work is seen as exemplary.
St-Julien has had a connection with the arts since the 16th century when it served as the site for the School of Theology and Arts of the University of Paris. On 14.April.1921, the garden of Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre was a venue for one of the last major art experiments of the Dada Movement.
Today, in addition to serving the spiritual needs of Melkite Catholics, it is a venue for classical music performances. In January 2000 we attended a Chopin piano recital here. It was lovely. The church is small, creating an intimate setting for music. The soaring Gothic architecture fills with sound, lifting you up, up and away.
The programs sell out quickly, if interested get yourself to the church, not on time, but early to buy tickets.
