Saint?Eustache Paris, France The Church of Saint Eustache, erected
between 1532 and 1640, is one of the most important churches in Paris.
Standing near the Louvre and the Royal Palace, St. Eustache was known
as the Parochial and Royal Church from the 17th century until the
French Revolution. Numerous major events have marked its history.
Richelieu, Jeanne Antoinette Poisson (the future Marquess de
Pompadour) and Molière were baptised there. Louis XIV's Holy
Communion was celebrated in the St. Eustache, as were the funerals of
La Fontaine, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's mother, and many others. The
writer Voiture, the grammarian Vaugelas, Furetière, the harlequin
Dominique Bensérade and Scaramouche are buried there. The world?wide
reputation of the St. Eustache is due not only to its splendid
architecture, but also to its musical tradition. The merriage of
Lulli, the last organ recital of Remeau, the concerts of Berlioz,
Franck, Liszt and many others are examples. Since 1963 Jean Guillou,
accomplished virtuoso, improviser of great talent and representative
of modern music for the organ, has been the titular organist. Address
