Many of the churches of Paris contain excellent organs. A combination of church services, free recitals (often on Sunday afternoons), and paid concerts provide a variety of means to hear these magnificent instruments. Here are some that we have enjoyed: L'Église Saint-Sulpice: a marvelous organ, featured during church services, recitals each Sunday after the main mass, and occasional concerts/recitals. Cathédral de Notre-Dame de Paris: wonderful to hear during church services, Sunday afternoon organ recitals, and occasional paid concerts. L'Église Saint-Eustache: an organ of 8000 pipes, played during services and weekly recitals/concerts. L'Église de la Madeleine: the Madeleine's organ was built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in the 1800s, who also built the Saint-Sulpice organ. Frequent free recitals as well as other concerts. There are many more; you can check the church web sites, look for posters at the church, and check out the weekly Pariscope guide for more information.
