grean_tea12, rue Daru, 8e, Mº Ternes, tel: 42.27.37.34. Sunday liturgy at 10am, Saturday vespers at 6pm.
Eglise St-Serge et de la Dormition de la Mère de Dieu - This picturesque church, reminiscent of a Russian country church, must be one of Paris's best-kept secrets. It is a former Protestant temple, set back from the road, that was converted into an Orthodox church in the 1920s. A wooden spire was added, as well as a picturebook wooden staircase, decorated with green, brown and red motifs. The slight state of disrepair only adds to its charm. The church is usually closed outside the hours of services. However, if you are lucky, one of the students at the adjoining theological institute may open it. Try knocking at the door of the rose-colored house, which is the first building you come to when you enter from the road. Inside, the church is full of exquisite icons, some from the famous school of Vladimir. There is also a striking representation of the Virgin and child, and the royal door at the center of the altar screen dates from the 16th century. 93, rue de Crimée, 19e, Mº Laumière, tel: 42.08.12.93. Services daily at 7am and 6pm. Liturgy on Sundays at 10am.
