Sir, – Frank McNally’s evocative return to Paris (An Irishman’s Diary, July 26th) brings back many memories of the City of Light. Last Easter Sunday I walked down memory lane along the Rue de Lille. Two young ladies were handing out leaflets at a doorway which turned out to be a lovely Anglican church.
Hidden behind a house facade from the days of persecution, I was welcomed in to have breakfast to celebrate the risen Christ with some delightful Parisians. It confirmed my memory of that loveliest of cities, its uniquely fascinating people, who never cease to surprise and charm. Thank you, Frank, for reminding us of such fond remembrances. – Yours, etc,
IAN ELLIOTT,
Belfast.
