57 Paris 5th arrondissement Church of Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre. All Greek to me.
This medieval church near the Sorbonne is named after "St Julien the poor". We don't know much about this saint, but he is the patron saint of... hotel owners, so he is in the right part of town here. Like most really old churches round here, this one replaced a previous one which the Vikings destroyed. Chunks of it were built in the 12th and 17th centuries. After the French Revolution, it was used as a warehouse for forty years or so before being a church again. Since 1889 the church has been run by Greek Catholics who are a church with some different ideas, but basically inside the Catholic pale (so to speak).

Lovely collection box, plenty of Greek-looking images.
