Got the to the 'Combes and lines (plural intentional) are wrapped around the building. So I went to lunch then headed back to this shop which opens at noon. Nice shop and LOTS to shop for and all of it made at monasteries around France. You name it, they probably have it. Looks small, but lots of rooms downstairs. No big bargains, but I'm always about shopping local if I can.

The actual church I think was my favorite that we went to in Paris. It was quaint and beautiful, and there is really a sense of calm and a presence of something divine.

Still one of my favorite churches we visited this summer. We attended mass here (although there was…read morean issue with non-Catholics walking away with the Eucharist). Quiet atmosphere, restrooms are clean, and they have a gift shop. The tiling at the front of the church is beautiful. 2025 #72

L'histoire de cette église remonte au 9ème siècle où la terre d'Ivry est la propriété du chapitre de Notre-Dame. Dès le 13ème, plusieurs seigneurs ecclésiastiques et laïcs acquièrent petit à petit les biens des communautés religieuses jusqu'au 17ème siècle. Dès le 12ème siècle, l'église est édifiée. Remaniée au cours des siècles, elle n'en conserve pas moins aujourd'hui un clocher carré, une travée du 13ème, des peintures murales du 16ème récemment rénovées, une chapelle de 1647 dédiée à la Vierge et une chaire du milieu du 18ème.

Review is for the women only hammam around the back of the mosque and through the cafe/restaurant!…read more I needed a super last min visit to the hammam because I was in dire need and thankfully you can just walk in to this hammam AND it's open on Tuesdays (whereas some other places are closed) No one spoke English (understandable) except for one lady but we made it work. When you enter your given a plastic pouch with a Kessa glove and black soak scrub if you elect it to have the grommage treatment. You put the soap on yourself in the communal hammam area. Then you will be lead to another room which is not private in the least because it's two showers on either end so there are people coming in and out, but that's where you get your scrub. You get scrubbed all over including the feet and so that's the one place where I wish there was a more hygienic technique because the order of body parts being scrubbed had no method only madness. So while my feet should have been the last thing scrubbed they were not. Next came the massage I had had me almost nodding off several times (okay admittedly I was extremely bone weary because I had done three other countries in the three days before that and was running on next to no sleep and having averaged 30k steps per day) but let's make this about the masseuse! I went for an hour long and it included a facial massage and tons of oil. After your treatment, you're given Moroccan mint tea and relax in another communal area on leather couches, while a fountain burbled and some soft and soothing instrumental music plays. My experience took me maybe two hours exactly for all of my treatments and I could've been there longer had I come a bit earlier so I would've had more time to relax post treatments but none of my treatments felt rushed so it didn't bother me. In total it costed me 110 euro which I consider worth it.

However, I agree it wasn't an all around pleasant experience. The staff is very strict, there are two employee check points if you will where they explain to you the rules but very rudely. If you are a woman in shorts and with uncovered shoulders, you will have to pay to borrow something to cover up with. The bathrooms are truly disgusting so don't bank on coming here and using them. You're better off elsewhere. Didn't try the cafe.
