Missions étrangères de Paris

For Miss Earth Paris

They left 17, and unfortunate incidents probably, they did not return until 9. Who? The first missionaries in the late 17th if Ecle, left France for the Far Asia. If the missionaries have left their names, in spite of themselves, the lexical field in love, their journey was, meanwhile, not part of aisir pl. Witness the curious and discreet Museum of martyrs under Foreign Missions of Paris at 128, rue du Bac in the 7th arrondissement.

If silence is golden during the visit, the pictures are screaming pain of the martyrs persecuted for trying preach the Christian religion. Slaughtered, strangled, past saber ... Many missionaries, despite their fate hung on the nose, pursued their holy task. And with a smile, please! The relics of one of them, the name of Pierre Borie, now rest in a corner of the museum. The pillory, that sort of straitjacket-like scale, which rested on his shoulders nearly two centuries ago, stands in the middle of the room. They say the executioner was so shocked to have to behead the captive of his hands that he liked, he drank one or two or even three glasses too. It was a disservice to the victim. Seven times he had to return them to overcome the grim task.

Fortunately, ropes, daggers, knives and chains are now relegated to the museum. The Chinese bell who basks in the sun bronze in the peaceful garden of foreign missions is there to sound the recall. Vast lawn. Boxwood pruned into balls. Statues sai nt Peter and St. Joseph ... Undoubtedly his window, gazing Chateaubriand this little square of nature writing his memoirs from beyond the grave. Who knows if the last vision he had, was not the small sandy paths, punctuated by the shadows of sundials?

Still, before his last home was the chapel of foreign missions. It celebrated his funeral mass, before burying the man of letters on the rock of the Grand Bé, the harbor of Saint-Malo ... But the eternal law was depressed to ut even a last honor: It was Gounod himself, who, at the organ, gave him his last dance.

note, the garden of Foreign Missions of Paris is only open for Heritage Days and during the festival of gardens in Paris.
