My Great Grandfather ( Woolf Friedberg ) married here in 1879 ? (5639 on the Ketouba). We think he…read morecame from Russia via Austria ( Vienna ) and then settled in London and became a naturalised British Citizen. We don't know why he married in Paris as there were many Synagogues in East London. Could the couple have been on their way to London as immigrants ? It is fortunate for all of his descendants that he made the decision to continue his journey. I have the rather battered Ketouba, all in Hebrew . The registration number on the document is either 353 or 1353. Woolf Friedberg's son, my Grandfather , Barnett Friedberg, was born not long after the wedding, in East London. He became a Fleet Street journalist and had seven children. He has many descendants both here in England and in France where I lived for several years and where my brother and his family now live. This is the first time I've looked up the synagogue on the internet. What a beautiful place and how new it must have been when they married !

We were walking and shopping in le Marais 4th Arr and came across the English Church of Saint Paul…read more& Saint Louis. Wow! What a surprise. The High Alter and Chancel area are incredibly beautiful. I have attached some photos of it, along with the Organ pipes above the Narthex. The Jesuit architects Étienne Martellange and François Derand, built the present building at the request of Louis XIII in the early seventeenth century. LOL What makes the church important is it's Baroque style, rather then the prevalent Gothic of the time. It's introduction changed Parisian religious architecture and is exquisite to see. On PBS Masterpiece Theater's Les Misérables, Cosette and Marius were married here. Sadly like Notre-Dame, Église Saint-Paul Saint-Louis du Marais was plundered during the French Revolution when many of its artworks were destroyed. Mass on Sunday is at 9:30 am, 11:00 am and 7:00 pm. https://www.spsl.fr/
I really love this church.

That felt so good, and I felt so blessed and so much lighter afterwards. Best of all, It's a block away from the metro station, a few blocks from our hotel, and right across so many delicious restaurants, boulangerie and chocolates all in the heart of the fashion district, La Marais, Paris. Bonjour!

The church looked a bit run down and dark inside. Also the glass window panes were very beautiful and colorful The church was built in the late 1800s and wasn't completed until early 1900s. So this is not a very old church compared to the other churches in Paris.

The Cathedral named after him was close to our hotel, so we took a walk on a wet Tuesday morning. It is very imposing, being visible alone amongst the far smaller buildings near the Gare du Nord. Once we climbed the front steps, we found an open door to the side that we could enter. The first thing you notice are the high ceilings that you would expect in a cathedral. We spent a few minutes examining the church and took a moment for quiet reflection.
