Concerts in the church of Ste Germaine de Pres

Bon Jour!

Does anyone have any experience buying tickets to performances in the historic Church of Ste Germaine de Pres? We’re interested in the Friday evening performance on September 4th

Thanks in advance,

Alain

Last time I was in Paris, I stayed in an Airbnb right behind the church. I wandered in on a Friday evening and they were having a rehearsal for a performance and it cost me nothing to sit there and listen - and I think I enjoyed it even more than the official performance!

We have been to jazz concerts in the church and a baroque concert in the chapel -- The chapel while of historic importance has all the charm of a barn -- a big stone room. The church nave is stunning and a marvelous place for a concert. So make sure WHERE it is not just the Church of St Germain de Pres but whether it is in the chapel or not.

FWIW, you have given St. Germain a sex change. HE not she (Germaine) was a bishop and one of Paris's patron saints along with Genevieve whose relics are at the wonderful St. Etienne church by the Pantheon.
