[Leica] [ Leica] IMG: Basilique Sainte-Clotilde

[Stan Yoder]

As an organist (as well as Leicanut), I can relate that Ste. Clotilde is 
a 'pilgrimage' site for organists, since the composer Cesar Franck was 
organist there in the late 19th century. Since then, that position has 
been held by notable organist-composers, including Charles Tournemire 
and Jean Langlais. There is a statue of Franck at the console in the 
park on which Ste. Clotilde fronts. The church is not ancient, being 
built in the 19th century. Clotilda (d.545) was the widow of the 
Frankish king Clovis.
